That’s like saying that teams with flexible wings are cheating.Xyz22 wrote:I didn't say they were cheating. I said that if Binotto admitted they lost performance due to the TD039 the media (especially British) would have "accused" Ferrari of exploiting a loophole in the regulations and they would have pushed the cheating narrative massively (like they did in 2018 thanks to Mercedes/Hamiton PR. Remember the double battery drama?)Vanja #66 wrote: ↑08 May 2024, 18:36That's another myth, dominant among english media. There was no cheating at any time, car was legal within prescribed plank measurment methodlogy. A part of TD39 requirment was also a limit on vertical oscillation, both amplitude and peak G. Ferrari ran with and allowed oscillations before Spa. Drivers didn't enjoy it, but didn't complain too much. At Spa, this had to change and a massive change was evident.
If a car passes scrutineering then it’s legal. If the rules change the car has to change to be legal again.
Any name calling of this is just sensational.
