it make sense because there are rules that you can't share all the parts with another team, meaning you are not allowed to copy a car 1:1
Is that a competitors chassis, or current chassis? Could they for example build a duplicate of last years RBR at their own plant as RBR are not using the same unit. It is made by them to a design previously used, much the same way a design concept would move if the designer changed teams.
APPENDIX 6
1. A competitor shall, in respect of the Listed Parts to be used in its cars in Formula One, only use
Listed Parts which are designed by it.
2. The obligation to design and use Listed Parts shall not prevent a competitor from Outsourcing

competes in Formula One.
b) In the case of the Outsourcing of manufacture such third party shall not be a
competitor.
c) In the case of the Outsourcing of design, such third party shall not be a competitor or a
party that directly or indirectly designs Listed Parts for any competitor.

4. No competitor shall be entitled :
a) To pass on or receive any information on Listed Parts (including but not limited to data,
designs or drawings) directly to or from another competitor or via an external entity or
third party.
b) To receive or supply consultancy or any other kind of services from or to another
competitor directly or via an external entity or third party in relation to Listed Parts.
5. Any information on non-Listed Parts passed on or received by a competitor or any consultancy
or any other kind of services involving a competitor in relation to non-Listed Parts shall be
strictly limited to the designs or drawings necessary for the integration of the non-Listed Parts
into the design of the car and/or the data necessary for the correct operation of the nonListed Parts on the car.

That makes it quite clear that RBR can not design this years chassis or STR use last years then. Cheersnevill3 wrote: ↑22 Jan 2019, 21:43This apendix 6 is from last years regulations just to help us all understand just what Red Bull and Torro Rosso can use this year....

But, as above, str can not even use the molds to make the chassis as it is a competitor.gandharva wrote: ↑22 Jan 2019, 22:25Of course they will not simply "clone" the RB14. But they will most likely build a car that is heavily influenced by the RB14 philosophy. Haas has shown us how to do it. I'm pretty sure TR will pull this off too. Having a few truckloads of RB14 parts lying around won't make that process harder i guess...
