Ferrari threaten to protest FIA ‘compromise’ after Lewis Hamilton and Russell complaints | F1 | Sport
As reported by RacingNews365.com an agreement has been made to raise the car’s floor edges by 15mm in time for next season. The regulation changes split the paddock with Ferrari and Red Bull accusing Mercedes of only pursuing the alterations as they have been unable to solve their own porpoising problems.
This led to the boss of the Prancing Horse, Mattia Binotto, sending out a defiant message regarding the proposed changes.“I hope there won’t be any changes, I don’t see any real reasons to make changes to the technical regulations for safety reasons, especially if we look at the latest races,” he told Motorsport.com.
“In addition, if the aerodynamic regulations were to change for 2023 it would be a considerable problem considering the time of year we are in, there would be very little time to change the concept of the new car. And, I repeat, there are no reasons to introduce changes to the technical regulation by citing safety reasons. So, I think it can’t happen, and if it does, we’ll try to figure out how to stop them .”
