I was making clear my point. There's nothing condescending or personal at all in my post.

Yes, he's a mechanic in the garage every weekend. We established this fact by way of the citations I provided.
Specifically, prepping the PU and checking it's fluids.
Not responsible for the brakes or any lines associated to the brake function. This would be a role for someone else. Maybe that's clearer.
My point is that he doesn't work on the power unit in a vacuum. Your suggestion that because he works on the PU he would therefore necessarily not know anything about the braking system of the rb20 is ridiculous
I provided a quote directly from an RB employer that is a mechanic for the team and installs PU's.
You replied that he is a mechanic for the team.
I outlined that he installs the PU for clarity.
I'll outline my point is not "ridiculous" (surely that's condescending )
And I will provide citations, which I note conspicuously absent in countering my post.
Phil Turner Chief Mechanic at RBR:
https://www.redbull.com/us-en/theredbul ... neers-rb19We build it in pieces. We have the chassis side, and the front end mechanic builds all the internal and external front suspension and fits all the driver controls—the brake pedal, throttle pedal, steering systems, braking systems. The number-one mechanic tends to build all the fuel systems inside the chassis. The second element of the car is the PU. We work alongside the PU guys to fit what we call the stage two kit to the engine—basically that includes clutches, oil and water pipes, ERS water systems. And the last bit is the gearbox. We also have a rear-end mechanic, who builds the external suspension and fits the rear wing. Everyone is bespoke to their different parts of the car,”
It is safe to assert that what Calum knows about the braking system is about the same as the engine installer did in the MP4-13 brake-steer system. Not much at all.
