Good evening to all,
Today we will deal a little with the issue of Racing Point penalty for the issue with the frets.
Teams such as Ferrari, Renault and Williams have stated that they will appeal against the penalty. McLaren was also in this team club, which eventually distanced itself.
Of course, the reason is not Racing Point, it is clearly the possible involvement of Mercedes and consequently the possible penalty that can follow if found guilty. Typically, Mattia Binotto stated that the situation is like copying in a test. There is the side that copies and the side that gives the answers to the one who copies. He blames the Germans sideways and of course intends to punish them through further investigation of the case.
At this point, let's say that Red Bull lets the rest do the dirty work, even though it is the team with the most immediate interest in the event of a Mercedes penalty. Although Cristian Horner spoke directly that if there is evidence that Mercedes gave plans to Racing Point, he should be punished. In addition. He stressed that although Red Bull is the only team that officially has two racing teams on the grid, it has never favored Alpha Tauri (formerly Toro Rosso) by ignoring the rules.
One would rightly ask, if Mercedes is punished, what profit will Ferrari or Renault have? The answer is simple and complex at the same time. In the short term they will not gain anything, that is for sure. In the long run they may gain a lot. There is already a gap between Mercedes and the FIA as to whether they will continue their cooperation over time due mainly to financial issues. Added to all this speculation is the issue of a possible scandal which whispers that the mom company is uploading it to Toto Wolf who also has shares in Racing Point (future Aston Martin), in which it is also rumored that he will go next year as a racer director. So there is an incentive and if some guilt is proven, the accusation and punishment will not go to individuals but to the team, something that may lead to the departure of the Germans as a racing team and continue only as engine suppliers.
so the king might be dead in the future and the way is open for the next.
