@there_is_no_if And the ground effect cars absolutely destroyed f1. They couldn’t even race on a damp track. I watched every Grand Prix for nearly twenty years and watched 3 at most last year
@Techne99@ElPredestinato The reason they’ve put the testing back until half way through the season is because they know it won’t. Otherwise test now. Shame as it’s ruined this season. I like Mercedes and George. I just want good racing
@Techne99@ElPredestinato While the rules state that “no cylinder of the engine may have a geometric compression ratio higher than 16.0“. According to your logic Lance Armstrong did nothing wrong and has wrongfully been stripped of his 7 TDF because he never tested positive…
@k61077@BAF2254@fiagirly There really wasn’t. They designed the engine in a different but legal way which gave a huge advantage. They also have other teams extra development to catch up. This engine is illegal
@Techne99@ElPredestinato The rules state 16:1 at all times and they can test and prove that today. They could legally test and disqualify today. This isn’t a loophole. They’ve been caught cheating. But because they were so far into development when caught and supply others they’ve been given time to fix
@Techne99@ElPredestinato They can test that and prove it today. The only reason they don’t is because Mercedes engines would be screwed and therefore half of the grid would be.
@natesaundersF1 The ground effect cars were the worst ever produced. Killed wet weather racing. They need big engines, naturally aspirated. Low downforce and high mechanical grip in smaller cars. Haven’t watched for over a year now and won’t for the foreseeable future
@F1zay23@Jaay243@pinsaroulette16 It’s not a loophole. The rules clearly state 16:1 at all times. The testing was done under the assumption that the teams would have a 16:1 ratio at all times. They could easily test at higher temperatures and disqualify the Mercedes engines. But that means half the grid are done
@Techne99@ElPredestinato It’s not a loophole. It’s a flagrant violation of the rules. The FIA could easily introduce warm testing and disqualify every Mercedes engine from every race
@RoverZealous23@goated_footy@F1BigData Given how he finished stronger than rosberg on all their title fights the statement stands and that Ferrari was a rocket.
@RoverZealous23@goated_footy@F1BigData I watched each race live and the oil burning Ferrari was much faster, hence holding multiple circuit records. And Merc did catch up in 21 but that also fails to account for the fact that Hamilton always finished seasons incredibly strong. Lewis and Max are two undisputed greats.
@RoverZealous23@goated_footy@F1BigData All the fastest laps and top speeds do argue otherwise and the first half of the season Redbull were much faster in 21 after they banned Mercedes high rake philosophy
