When 'b version' of the Silverstone car was shown in the pit lane of Barcelona, quite a few insiders have turned up their noses at the similarities with the RB18 by Adrian Newey. Although the AMR22 has similar aerodynamic concepts to the leading car of both world, the shiny green car was legally approved by the commissioners of the Federation.
turnabout
The technicians ofAston Martin they shelved the initial project, and embarked on a completely different path regarding the interpretation of the new ground effect cars. The concept of double bottom it didn't turn out to be right on the AMR22, and the decision of change course going towards the road traveled by Red Bull, was one of the loudest technical news of the Catalan weekend. However, not just technical news it was the revolution of the English team, but also a political one.
Red Bull accuses
Christian horner ed Helmut Marko they weren't asked for ignite the controversy towards Aston Martin. The English manager placed in support of theaccuses of copying the staff haemorrhage that Milton Keynes went to direction Silverstone. Among them, one of the most important names rhymes with Dan Fallow: responsible of aerodynamics department at Red Bull, later became director technician after the transition to the accused team. Horner fears that in the transition from one team to another, there was a transfer of intellectual property (IP)and not just the workforce. This would be extremely serious for the defendant team, as passing from an ordinary transfer of experience to one of IP would involve significant penalties.
FIA acquits Aston Martin
La International Federation sent his men to the headquarters of Aston Martin. The commissioners checked project dates and properties of the team, confirming that there was nothing unusual. In short, the Silverstone car is perfectly legal. It Red Bull fails to prove an incriminating 'data leak' Aston Martin, the case would not reopen. It should also be specified that the 'copying' made on the track would have been almost impossible, as Red Bull presented the car to the tests in Bahrain, and putting an identical car on the track would take much longer; it is therefore assumed that the new version of the AMR22 was in the lap at least already year to date.
