Back in 2018 and 2019, DAS wasn't approved by the FIA ...

Or....The FIA was not aware of it

Isn't that cheating ?

Good question and it wasn't something that was easily noticed under the front nose covers.BOT was keeping it a secret, hardly surprising then they cruised to all those championships.

The video was HAM's onboard video using DAS in the "2018" Hungarian GP . Think Bottas ran with DAS as well (not sure yet)
If it is true what the video shows . I really wonder why the Merc's WDC rankings aren't deleted in 2018 and 2019 by the FIA

Anyway , the whole situation is really interesting !

Perhaps some Merc fanboys can chime in ....

Exactly what I was thinking my friend. Seems some in Fia need to be asked also why they kept quiet..

For the hard of thinking...the FIA didn't need to do anything because DAS perfectly legal...or was until the FIA changed the regulations for 2021.

DAS was in 2020 approved by the FIA . But NOT in 2018 and 2019 !!!
"NO ONE" heard the word DAS in 2018 and 2019 ...While it was used by Mercedes !

The car was proven legal in scrutineering. There is nothing else to be said no matter what kinds of conniption fits our 2 local RED BULL heroes say!!

OMG can you really be this dumb.
DAS didn't break any regulations in any year because the device was not ever excluded by the regulations...except now for 2021
You don't have to get pre-approval for any innovation that is not excluded by the regulations.
If I put some words in upper case would that help you understand what ought to be a simple concept?

The latest regarding HAM's contract ..
HAM's contract was already proposed in November . A 2 year contract 50 million/Year .
BENZ and HAM agreed . But Daimler said NOPE ! No way !
According Daimler : We can't go that far financial , as we have to fire thousands in our factories regarding the COVID financial losses...

Jeez its like trying to explain to children that the tooth fairy doesn't exist....(no really there is no tooth fairy)

["how can it be APPROVED when no one F*n knows anything about it"]

Sigh...Well there is this process called SCRUTINEERING. Google will tell you all about it.

If an innovation is discovered (during scrutineering or at any other time) that is contrary to the regulations then it will be explicitly banned immediately and penalties may well apply.
If an INNOVATION is NOT EXCLUDED by the REGULATIONS then its ALLOWED.

Caps in case it does actually help you understand!

Yeah I read that,HAM is in a dream world with his demands.It shows how Merc's parent company had to step in and wake them up to reality who already drew up the contract for him to sign!
There is a young gun in the waiting quite capable who has proved himself by passing grandma in combat and Seb said before going to AM that he would drive W for FREE!!

Exactly my friend

A 2021 set of Pirelli tyres will be 2.8 kilos heavier .
This means more rubber to avoid blistering and punctures .

Probably this was requested by Wolff ... In other words : "Merc Tyres"
