RBR is illegal (apparantly)

[wedge]

Here we go again and the racing hasn't started.

Slotted rear wings are supposed to be banned but the naysayers say its light reflections on the rear wing.

Could be reflections though... Looks like it to me.

Also, if they'd been doing something illegal, wouldn't it have been clearly caught during testing, with all the other teams around?

That seems like the sort of thing that will be pretty obvious to the scrutineers, if they do in fact have an illegally positioned slot.

Non-issue. Now this, Formula 1, is an issue.

Some teams' may have their priorities mixed up a bit.

Hmm, yes, and I don't think Red Bull are alone. Pretty much every team seems to have shaped their rear bodywork to still make some aero use of the exhaust, which I thought Charlie was intending to put a complete end to. I guess we'll see in a week or so.

Just read in Autosport - RBR's exhaust system could be illegal. Maybe their front wings will become contentious next week.

I think every team is just weary of Red Bull and their dominance.

A relative newcomer is destroying them on the track and it seems as if they're pulling at strings from time to time.

If they are reflections then why would the deeply respected tech journalist Giorgio Piola and his illustration doing the rounds. After all it was he who broke cover of Merc's blown front wing.

I f they are there it only take one look for a scrutiner to see them on place. Naah take another try to take down The Bulls.
