The FIA clarified the regulations to make it clear that they should cease using it.

That the Mercedes has shown a performance advantage for nearly every year of the hybrid era years suggests that whatever the advantage they have is, on the balance of probabilities, legal.
Since:
The FIA have been unable to find anything illegal in the PU in the last 6 years.
During the natural exchange of personnel from one team to another, any secret illegal processes would most likely have been revealed.
3. I'm not your guy, mate.
I think it was Red Bull who said, when other teams complained of their dominant Vettel era....they need to do a better job. |
