It would have ended with strong words the meeting of Saturday in Canada, convened by Stefano domenicali with the team principals of the various stables present. According to some rumors at the center of the debate there would be Christian horner, Toto wolff e Mattia binotto. The reason for the discussion? there FIA directive concerning the problem of pouring. Ma let's get into the details.
Mercedes and porpoising
The hottest topic of the last few weeks but in general of the whole season is the pouring and, as we have seen in these grand prix, a suffer more is definitely la Mercedes. For this reason the team principal of Mercedes Toto wolff he complained about the new ones technical directives about the jumping of all the machines. All this, in fact, goes against the Brackley team which, generating a lot of porpoising, will surely have to raise the machine to reduce it, losing in lap performance. According to Wolff, his colleagues preferred to discuss the issue "insincerely" and too much "politic” instead of thinking about solving those that he deems real security issues.
Horner and Binotto allied against Wolff
For the first time since last year the fight Mercedes – Red Bull returns to being a cumbersome presence in the Circus. Christian horner – Red Bull team principal – it totally is deviated from Wolff's allegations by noting how some teams – Ferrari ed Alpine - don't complain about the new FIA regulationsindeed, I encourage them. Also, many stables including the Austrian team are asking an appeal against the double tie rod adopted by Mercedes during FP1 e FP2 and then removed before FP3, considered illegal.
According to what has been learned, Horner would have told Wolff that the porpoising problems of the Mercedes are not due to the regulation but rather to the technical deficiencies of the car and that it would be up to the team find a solution. Faced with these words, the Mercedes team principal, again according to some sources, would have reacted in a rather way access, "theatrical" according to Horner, which would also find the support of Mattia binotto, Ferrari team principal.
Horner also has gave an interview concerning the methods used by Mercedes in Canada, which are deemed illegal. “I think the thing particularly disappointing was the introduction of second tie why such a decision has to be discussed in a technical forum – Horner said. “This solution was oriented to solve problems of a single team which showed up in Canada with a precaution in advance of the technical directive".
Meanwhile, Netflix spies
This meeting would also be attended by the crew of Netflix for the filming of the fifth season of Drive To Survive, under processing. According to Horner, Wolff's excessive behavior should have been due due to presence of the docu-series team. We just have to wait for the release of the new series to verify!
