So, poking them as part of the game, as I stated in the second part of my post. I know it’s a statement of fact lol. I’m more interested in the why (why he said it, why RB did it),
I’m 100% confident Merc would’ve communicated this to the FIA before today, and
100% confident that the team informed Lewis of this issue. Just like rear wing.
Yeah, that's too obvious at this point. Even if question about bendy wings was convenient the additional comment about tyre blankets was just too much out of the blue, and Hamilton in general is not known for straying off topic in his answers, simply because he gets a million of them and wants to get on with it (much like most other drivers). Lets see if it gets mentioned again sometime this weekend.
If there was a clear breach of regs there's just no way RB, or anyone, would get away with it, so I think there must be fine print in there somewhere explaining it away.
