You can look at it like it's a 2 week mandatory vacation for everyone within the factory. Even here at my work, we don't have mandatory vacation. Damn lucky people at Manor!

Just a bunch of hand waving in order to distract from what is really going on. Now to decipher from that text to what is really going on. What is really going on is that there is a driver swap going on, and a few other smaller items like some internal restructure things. In other a normal F1 team doing normal F1 stuff.

No it's enforced only for those directly involved in the design and production of the car. There will be a lot of maintenance going on during that time.

So the designers and other people can be at home working on their computers haha. Its not the same but I am sure they can develop some ideas to apply just when the factoreis are re-opened.

Does anyone happen to know the shutdown periods of other teams.
Will HR/Recruiting be working over this summer break or is it a complete lockdown of facilities?

Easier said than done as everything on the car has to be seen as part of the whole. The WT computational and cad data is centrally stored and those servers are monitored by FIA plus the teams wouldn't really want sensitive information out of the gates because of industrial espionage . So whilst no doubt some meet up for a beer there isn't that much done from what I have been told and seen.

Most of the designers leave their work laptop on their desks and some actually have a holiday believe it or not.Which actually makes sense if you think about the logistics.
