La Mercedes testa le Pirelli in un test segreto

[Illy 5556]

Mercedes has been banned from taking part in this year's young driver test, and given a reprimand, for using a 2013 car during Pirelli testing.

Following a seven-hour hearing at the FIA's headquarters in Paris on Thursday relating to the matter, the International Tribunal panel announced its verdict at lunchtime on Friday.

It said that Mercedes was guilty of a breach of the regulations and would be reprimanded, and suspended from taking part in the young driver test at Silverstone.

Pirelli was also reprimanded.

l'avevo detto che il terremoto era stato causato dalla reazione di qualcuno che aveva letto in anticipo il verdetto

[Aviatore_Gilles 3087]

Se quella è la punizione, allora tutti posso fare i test

[SpadaJones 60]

Perfetto. Siamo alle solite. Mi aspetto che la Ferrari faccia un casino

[lucaf2000 1647]

Che sanzione MOSTRUOSA!!!

 

bhuahahahahahhahahaha

This decision follows (i) the disciplinary proceedings instigated by the FIA, on the basis in particular of the report by the Stewards of the Monaco Grand Prix, forwarded to the FIA following the two protests made by Scuderia Ferrari Team and Red Bull Racing respectively, and (ii) the hearing that took place yesterday before the International Tribunal with the participation of all the parties concerned.

The FIA wishes that lessons are learnt from this case and from the decision handed down. To this end, the FIA will make sure, in association with all F1 teams, that its control of the testings is strengthened.

It is recalled that the notification of the FIA International Tribunal's decision opens to each of the parties concerned the possibility of bringing an appeal against this decision before the FIA International Court of Appeal within 7 days.

Peccato, sarebbe stato buono per la Lotus se avessero cancellato qualche punto ai truffatori.

Having taken all such matters into account, the
Tribunal makes the following findings:

(1) The track testing, which is the subject of these proceedings, was not
carried out by Pirelli and/or Mercedes with the intention that Mercedes
should obtain any unfair sporting advantage.

(2) Neither Pirelli nor Mercedes acted in bad faith at any material time.

(3) Both Pirelli and Mercedes disclosed to FIA at least the essence of what
they intended to do in relation to the test and attempted to obtain
permission for it; and Mercedes had no reason to believe that approval
had not been given .

(4) The actions taken on behalf of FIA by Charlie Whiting (having taken
advice from the legal department of FIA) were taken in good faith and
with the intention of assisting the parties and consistent with sporting
fairness.

Notwithstanding the above findings:

(i) by running its car(s) in the course of the testing, Mercedes acted in
breach of Article 22.4 h) SR;

(ii) insofar as FIA expressed its qualified approval for the testing to be
carried out, that approval could not, and did not, vary the express
prohibition stipulated by Article 22 SR and neither Mercedes nor Pirelli
took adequate steps to ensure that the qualification was satisfied. In this
regard the Tribunal takes particular note of the fact that it was, very
properly, not submitted on behalf of Pirelli, nor was there any evidence
that, the assurance which it was not disputed Mr Paul Hembery, Pirelli
Motorsport Director, had given to Charlie Whiting (as set out in
paragraph 5 above) had in fact been acted on at any material time;

(iii) the testing would, however, not have been carried out by either
Mercedes or Pirelli if that qualified approval had not been expressed by
the representatives of the FIA in the way in which it is admitted by FIA it
was;

(iv) The Tribunal is unable to express any opinion as to whether or not
the testing carried out by Ferrari in 2012 and 2013 was properly
authorised but, it would appear to be equally unsatisfactory that this
consent was also given by Charlie Whiting, the Tribunal has no
evidence before it which indicates that his opinion in that case had in
fact been wrong.

(v) Mercedes did obtain some material advantage (even if only by way of
confirmation of what had not gone wrong) as a result of the testing,
which, at least potentially, gave it an unfair sporting advantage, to the
knowledge and with the intention of Pirelli. In the light of the data which
Pirelli did in fact pass to Mercedes by way of the confidential email
referred to under paragraph 37.8 above, it is plain beyond sensible
argument that Pirelli had intended confidentially to pass some data to
Mercedes, which Pirelli expressly regarded as being of high importance
even if, as we accept, it was in fact of limited value to Mercedes because
it was unaware of the tyre(s) to which the report related.

(vi) No other team was aware of the fact that such advantage might be, or
had been, obtained, notwithstanding the assurance which had been given
by Paul Hembery to Charlie Whiting, as set out in paragraph 5 above;
and the Tribunal notes that, when giving that assurance, Paul Hembery
had not indicated to Charlie Whiting that the notification which Pirelli
had already given to all teams in 2012 could satisfy the assurance which
was being sought.

(vii) Both Mercedes and Pirelli, accordingly, did act in breach of articles
1 and 151 ISC.

(ANSA) - PARIGI, 21 GIU - Reprimenda ed esclusione dal test giovani piloti per Mercedes e solo reprimenda per Pirelli: questo il verdetto del Tribunale Internazionale della Fia, che oggi ha sentenziato sul caso dei test irregolari della scuderia Mercedes con gomme Pirelli. Una soluzione che ieri, durante le sette ore di audizione a Place de la Concorde, era stata addirittura 'suggerita' dallo stesso legale di Mercedes, Paul Harris.

[The King of Spa 637]

Ridicoli.

[joseki 1246]

Dai che quest'anno la Mercedes forse riesce a combinare qualcosa tra ladrate e gomme scelte apposta per lei dalla Pirelli

[Ruberekus 12261]

cvd non è successo nulla

[mp4/18 351]

solita figura pietosa della FIA. la mia sensazione è che sia stata una decisione obbligata per evitare che scattassero ripicche e grane più grandi.

 

per tutto ciò, ringraziamo i soliti geniali regolamenti scritti col c*lo

[The frog 66]

Pena lieve per la Mercedes.

Talmente lieve che non si vede.

[Ferrarista 1708]

Nessun appello Mercedes contro la decisione del Tribunale Internazionale

 

Ci prendono pure per il c*lo...

[Ruberekus 12261]

cosa dovevano fare, appellarsi a una non punizione?

[ggr 3521]

tutto come previsto. la colpa più grande è della fia, e del suo mega super palnetiario delegato, quindi la fia avrebbe dovuto punirsi da sola, mettiamoco poi il solito ross, che sguazza a suo agio nella melma, e le minacce del bimbo merceds, ed ecco la sentenza, ampiamente prevista.

fossi ferrari, domani inizio una settimana di test al mugello.
