Lots of teams have said that in the past, but in the end they backed down!
So your bet is Mercedes is too powerful and a bully and should get it their way because they are my team?
No the other teams are to weak or just talk a good game but don't follow through!
I think it is just too evident how much you are biased towards a team. This is not the way to be constructive in a technical forum.

This is happening because Ferrari can't seem to find a strong team principal. When will Vasseur start defending the team's interests? :evil: If the SF-26 PU had a CR greater than 16.0, or Toto was Ferrari team principal he would have caused a media storm a few months ago.

Ferrari is F1, they will not sue or lower the sport for this. Hate them all you want but this is because of how much Ferrari has invested in this both in its history and financially.

I do know what the geometric compression ratio is. Do you understand what it means that it can't be higher than 16.0 at any point during the competition?
As the rules stand at the start of the season they say ambient and that's all that matters! If other don't like it they could pursue legal action, they have several avenues open to them.
The rules at the start of the season said that there is a fuel flow meter to measure the flow of fuel. Turns out you could circumvent that. No, we need to get to the bottom of that compression ratio loophole !

Carlo Santi is in Bahrain right now and will (presumably) be his interim race engineer for the test, possibly for Australia too.

Must be weird for him as he's usually in charge of remote operations and hasn't been on track regularly in years

This makes me wonder even more if Adami was the one who decided to leave. No backup plans in place, no candidates engaged, etc.

Ferrari's aero rakes are actually quite innovative. They use metal 3D printing technology, so it allows them to align the probes and the bracings with the airflows from CFD. It reduces the aero disturbance that the rake has on the measurement.

These look to be massively more advanced than the usual ones.
