It just speaks to a huge dearth of ability and competence in that Aston Martin team that's been there as long as Stroll has.
I think sainz is right to call this out. Its the FIAs fault, they spent ages coming up with the car specs for 2022 and not once did porposing cross anyones mind.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/61516764
Didn’t think it would be long until a driver mentioned health implications regarding porpoising.
Russell was already quite vocal about it at Imola - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...pain-mercedes-imola-emilia-romagna-grand-prixhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/61516764

yeah but now an actual human has said it, not a cyborg built in a mercedes factory.Russell was already quite vocal about it at Imola - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...pain-mercedes-imola-emilia-romagna-grand-prix
Yeah, sorry, I should have worded it differently. I meant someone talking about it as something that they need to discuss/long term health issues.Russell was already quite vocal about it at Imola - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...pain-mercedes-imola-emilia-romagna-grand-prix
You seem to recognise the characteristics then ..yeah but now an actual human has said it, not a cyborg built in a mercedes factory.
yes. it’s true. i was one of toto’s early prototypes. the driving ability was there but they couldn’t quite work out how to build the crotches properly, so i was released into the wild.You seem to recognise the characteristics then ..
Why? In every other sport I can think of you are allowed to copy tactics, techniques, strategies, formations etc. Copying designs has been part of F1 for decades. If the FIA hadn't banned DAS every team would have had it this season, every team jumped on the double defuser etc.A bit mental that a team could just copy another team's car in the first place.
Agreed, it was inevitable that one of the leading teams would have their design copied by the other teams especially midfield and lower teams.Why?

Well the idea would be to design things yourself not just copy. But I guess there are limits to what is allowed. For example if a team somehow hacks into another's systems and obtains the cad files, even if it's not proven if the designs are identical to the millimeter I can't imagine this would stand.Why?

Theres an easier way then espionage, hire your rivals staff. RB took powertrain staff off Mercedes and Dan Fellows (one of adrian newey's) design team was poached by Aston Martin. Though he was supposed to be on gardening leave till end of april just gone. It does make you wonder if he had any input into the AM changes for spain as they do look very much like RB design parts....Well the idea would be to design things yourself not just copy.

looking forward to this weekend, massive list of upgrade like you say.Abssolutely huge list of upgrades.
This is essentially 2022.B
I'm sure Ferrari/RB will still be the quickest, but we could see other teams a lot closer this weekend.
they could have achieved the same but cutting a hole in the floor and having hamilton fred flintstone it down the straights.Apparently Mercedes ran a new PU and rear wing during filming day at Paul Ricard a few days ago. The PU has given them a 4kph boost in straight line speed (not much given the deficit to RB was 10kph).
They have more updates for Barcelona. FP1 and FP2 this afternoon should be interesting as there will be lots of new parts on lots of cars.

I don't think there's been an official complaint but the FIA always check the changes to verify it isn't a direct copy and have released a statement that they're happy. Red Bull have complained to the press though.apparently FIA have conducted an investigation into the Aston Martin and found there was nothing wrong.
Have I missed something, has Red Bull made a complaint to the FIA ?
Cheers, been busy and not caught up fully yet.I don't think there's been an official complaint but the FIA always check the changes to verify it isn't a direct copy and have released a statement that they're happy. Red Bull have complained to the press though.

So if a team come up with a brilliant rear wing innovation, should everyone just ignore it?Well the idea would be to design things yourself not just copy.

For example if a team somehow hacks into another's systems and obtains the cad files, even if it's not proven if the designs are identical to the millimeter I can't imagine this would stand.
Copying general shapes / ideas I think is fine, but carbon copying elements I cant imagine being legal, essentially you are not doing any design/ innovation you are running a Xerox machine.So if a team come up with a brilliant rear wing innovation, should everyone just ignore it?
You think if Alfa Romeo or Tauri rocked up with a body identical to the Mercedes Toto would say nothing about it?Cheers, been busy and not caught up fully yet.

Apparently AM came up with the design over the winter for two cars. The sidepods that resemble the RB were planned since the start of the season. FIA have seen all the data at the factory as @pauldy said and have concluded that the research data backs it up.apparently FIA have conducted an investigation into the Aston Martin and found there was nothing wrong.
