I hope it will return toward goodness after so much bad things
how exactly are they going to change the pu overnight, while the car is under parc fermé?
It was a remarkable moment during the formation lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix: Daniil Kvyat contacted his engineer because he wanted different tires, but the AlphaTauri rider didn't get a response. Even when Kvyat asked for confirmation several times, it remained quiet. However, the team had a good reason for that.
Kvyat: 'Can I make a pit stop and get slicks before we start? Please respond.' There was no response, so he tried again. 'Please let me know if I can go in now.' The team didn't say anything this time either, so the Russian tried one last time. 'Kevin Magnussen did go in, can I go in? Please respond.'
But again it stayed silent. Because, if AlphaTauri reacted, the team would be breaking FIA rules. It's not allowed to have contact with the engineer during the formatting session. Magnussen and his teammate Romain Grosjean did have contact with the engineer of the Haas-team and the two of them were punished with ten seconds of time each. In order to avoid the same time penalty, AlphaTauri decided to ignore Kvyat. (Photo: Getty Images/AlphaTauri Content Pool)

Renault pointed out that Racing Point bought some parts not allowed in the rules from Mercedes and appealed to the FIA on this matter.
Helmut Marko stated that they will do the same if Racing Point is allowed.
Speaking to Kronen Zeitung, Marko said, "I am concerned about the speed of Racing Point. Their vehicles are very similar to Mercedes and they can be very fast at Silverstone, where power is important."
"However, if the FIA confirms that such copying is allowed, I will have no problem with this. Because we will do the same with AlphaTauri and even save money by doing this."
