is there any reason to believe the FIA changed something about the tests they do every week?

I normally wouldn't expect this to have much influence, apart from the mental side maybe, getting overly cautious, like Mercedes was in Interlagos two or three years ago.

They didn't change anything. 2 weeks ago a technical directive was sent banning temperature devices in the skid.

Do we have confirmation on that? I've only seen the Japanese article, nothing from the usual suspects.

didn't we debunk that already?

The Japanese article lists grandprix.com as source for it. And there's nothing on that site at all.

I am not sure what is really going on because grandprix.com doesn't seem to exist. Strange...

Not sure if you are familiar with them, but this japanese website is a very good source. They don't post fairytales or clickbait.

I also saw the story on one of the italian sources, which I can't recall now. I think it was autoracer.

as far as I saw, every other report about it referred to the Japanese article. And the source listed in that one, just doesn't exist.

Despite Red Bull being the most studied and scrutinized car for these regs, MCL in their 2 years are responsible for flexi wings, mini drs and skid wear.

www.grandprix.com exists, but it's a copy & paste website which looks like from the 90's.

I think they mean gpblog.com. There's an overlap with some of their other articles, at least - although I didn't find anything about the skids

That's how much we know. Their thermostat with tires is still something no one understands. I am not betting man but you can see where I am going with this...

Ah thanks for checking. It works now and for some reason didn't work previously.

It takes a bit to long for the decision, maybe its not as clear as everybody thought.
