Interesting newsday this!
My thanks to Bob for his hard work in getting Mercedes up and running, a good guy lost for the team.
Anyhow, Aldo Costa has weighed in on the chassis argument.

There are certain corners, especially the fast ones, where Red Bull is better than us, but in other places it is us with the edge.
Adding that they are
about on par with Red Bull
.
And at todays Red Bull fuel flow appeal, Mercedes sent a lawyer, Paul Harris QC. Here, I'm certain this is payback for Red Bull's presence and testimony in the Pirelli test of last year in which I believe it was Horner that gave testimony.
We are, frankly, and with great respect, concerned that Red Bull have shown such a flagrant and deliberate disregard for these rules that there is a real risk they will do it again.
We are here to seek to ensure that that does not happen, we must have a level playing field going forward for the remainder of the season.We apprehend that the other teams represented here today [Lotus, Williams, McLaren and Force India] take the same view, which is why they are here today.We respectfully submit that the most effective way to ensure that Red Bull do not flount further instructions from the FIA is for this court to recognise the severity of their infringement and to impose a further sanction upon them which is to be suspended for the rest of the season, so that they are acutely aware.

Certainly, it seems Mercedes and a few others are exerting as much pressure as possible. In much the same way as Red Bull have done in the past.
I wonder how Red Bull will react to this public burning....which reminds me of an absolute belting
