Very likely. This is a huge bargaining chip for them.Wonder if the teams will now hold off signing the 2021 contacts?
Very likely. This is a huge bargaining chip for them.
It wouldn't because the FIA don't use official public courts or anything has anything to do with actual laws of the land. Instead they make up their own like the International Court of Appeal and International Tribunal. these are private FIA 'courts; with little to do with real laws.
It's a bit like when the FIA's kangaroo court or in this case the so called 'World Council' issued a lifetime ban to Flavio Briatorie, who then took the FIA to an actual real court
The FIA have not declared the car legal? This is the whole point of the argument.
They wouldn't have to make the actual technology used public so there would be no copying of anything, all they needed to say was 'the car was found to be legal/illegal' which they haven't, they have instead dodged around it with cryptic and suspicious statements.
This is the whole point of all the backlash.
No one needs the fia.

As others said before, without the FIA there is no Formula One.
Obviously the teams could all get together with liberty media and create a brand new series, with brand new rules and regulations, (another try at A1 series anyone?) but it could never be called Formula One.
You are right, I totally misread your post, sorry about that.I never said the FIA declared the car legal.
I don't really believe in governing bodies. After-all it's just a bunch of people who got together and decided we are the governing body for such and such. In the modern world they've become too large and too corrupt.
Or Mercedes have been told/have found out and realised they're doing what Ferrari were and have decided they don't want investigated themselves."Mercedes is no longer part of the ‘gang of seven’ teams which was pressing the FIA over its settlement with Ferrari over last year’s investigation into the legality of its power unit."

IF it's true.
Then Merc has thrown Wolf to the dogs(sorry about the pun)
I want to know what dirt Ferrari have on everyone so that every time they have a quiet word in someone's ear, be it an FIA rep or a Merc exec, they get what they want. Every god damn time.An Italian source says that agreement was then struck between Kallenius (chairman of Daimler) and Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri due to the “bigger picture”. Daimler, BMW and Fiat are believed to be cooperating on autonomous car technologies, while Elkann was concerned that the mud-flinging was damaging Formula 1’s image.
Rubbish!Or Mercedes have been told/have found out and realised they're doing what Ferrari were and have decided they don't want investigated themselves.
Rubbish!
Wolff has long been rumoured to be leaving Mercedes for RP/Aston Martin. Wolff was very angry about it(Ferrari), Mercedes as a manufacturer weren't that interested as they had won the championship and therefor wouldn't gain much, if anything, anyway - all the other teams would gain millions *if* Ferrari were booted from the championship.
How can you say MissChief's post is rubbish unless you privvy to some information that hasn't been released to the public?
