    FIA not ‘entirely satisfied’, will monitor Ferrari in Montreal

    https://www.planetf1.com/news/fia-no...-ferraris-ers/

    Is the FIA not satisfied? Or is it Merc pushing for more investigation. First we were given the thumbs up in Monaco and now they choose to conduct more investigation? MERC/FIA Bias....

    why don't Ferrari ask the FIA to investigate some Merc parts? i'm sure they could come up with some ideas.

    Trick parts which mostly push the boundaries or to put it bluntly, against the spirit of the rules are nothing new in F1. I'm sure what Sassi and Allison did is nothing new, ex-team members bring most if not all secrets with them for their new teams to exploit or expose to the FIA.

    Today it's Ferrari, tomorrow it's another team. Welcome to the merry-go-round that is F1.

    If we are breaking the rules then we will have to change things, if not then teams can say what they like. Just cause they say something does not make it true....

    If FIA doesn’t have conclusive evidence on ers issue, then mark them legal. Why to bow down on one team complaint & ban the system which u didn’t find anything against the rules.

    If Ferrari is using loophole, which is in the limits of FIA rule book fine go ahead.
    But if Ferrari is the only one using such system & term it as illegal or ban it or remove it when there is no concrete evidence. I sense it’s a foolish thing.

    I fear FIA might use the later part on Ferrari behind the doors. Which is not good at all.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of the Ferrari ERS monitoring is that the FIA had to come up with a different monitoring device for Ferrari as they have split their battery. This mans that using the standard device they use for all the other teams will not not give them the data they need. The way they monitored Ferrari in Monaco was apparently not efficient as it was cumbersome and took a lot of time to set up with the new device to be installed in Canada having addressed those inefficiencies otherwise the FIA would have had to go through the same time consuming process at each race.

    In other words (and in my opinion) - all teams are monitored at every race and not only Ferrari, it's just that they had to develop a specific device to monitor Ferrari's ERS due to the way they have developed their MGU-K and this new device will be used from Canada onward for Ferrari whilst the rest of the teams will continue to use the standard one.

    Does anyone else see this the same way I do or have I missed something?

    Why did Charlie say to the reporters that Ferrari have two batteries. Shouldn't this be confidential ?

    You have not missed anything. This is exactly what is going on. It is everybody else who hasn't come to this realization yet that is missing it.

    Renault too uses complex ers system, why it isnt turned up into an controversy???
    Mercs issued team orders at Monaco, why it isn’t turned into an controversy?
    Pirellli favoured one team in Spain on safety grounds, changed tyre tread. It was only mercs who asked for change why it isn’t turned up soo much into an article?

    In my view mercs & RB trying to unstabilze current ferrari team. By doing so it will disturb harmony within the team & succumb to pressure & make mistakes....!! Which happened last year

    Sometimes i think the FIAs main job is to kill innovation.

    Reliability is important I would take that more than HP

    i've read the article and again it mentions something about pistons being redesigned....hope it's NOT the rumor that went ahead last year about steel 3D pistons we were supposed to have don't really know if it ever happened last year

    but yeah, let's hope this new engine will be pr0ven both reliably and more powerfull
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
