Well Nick, if Metal Matrix "Composite" is not a composite material, then what is? For once, the public copy of the regulation shows the same information as the working copy in this case:
https://www.fia.com/file/61689/downl...token=hVJqMBK-
The use of composite is allowed for the following parts:
Timing cover
Air filter box
Air ducts for cooling (cockpit and boot (FR) / radiators / intercooler / engine auxiliaries / brakes)
Homologated exterior bodywork parts (see article 902)
Windscreen lower trim
Door trims (FR)
Dashboard (FR)
Seats
Supports and fixings fitted inside the cockpit (except seat brackets) and inside the rear boot
Protection covers fitted inside cockpit and inside rear boot (FR)
Foot rest for driver and codriver (FR)
Console / support for switches…
Steering wheel
Heat shields
Protections of the bodywork parts (side, floor, inner wheel arch)
Leakproof box for fuel tank (see article 401) (FR)
Underbody protections (see article 902)
Mountings for front and rear bumpers
Headlight units and tail light units
Additional headlights housings (see article 503)
Paddles for power assisted gearshift control
Supports and fixings fitted inside the engine compartment (except engine / transmission supports)
Discs for differentials
Baffles fiited inside engine oil sump and transmission housing
Fuel tank internals
Engine parts: see HOMOLOGATION REGULATIONS FOR 1.6 TURBO ENGINES
Electric connecting box
All composite material parts fitted directly on the engine (parts mentioned in Article 3) and the parts fitted in the cockpit or in the boot mentioned above (FR) must be made from fire‐
retardant material (seats and driver / codriver equipment / energy‐absorbing material: see FIA standarts). The external face of the part must have a V0 level of acceptance respecting
the "UL94" US standard (fire‐retardance capability).
Somewhere in this discussion indeed lies the truth about the finish on the part. What can I say, it's painful to see all three cars go out with the same broken part (whatever the circumstances), and it's not the first time they failed this year...
