I don’t have a direct quote I’m going off comments during commentary from today during testing. You can believe me or not that’s up to you.

Oh you’re correct RP were. However new management and all that although that doesn’t stop it bring hypocritical.

I do find the Haas comments interesting though. If any other team knows about copying another teams car it’s them. When RP said that they had just looked at photos of the W10 Haas pretty much called it BS.

Well Haas were rotating Ferrari staff i think that is another level

But F1 have to do something now don't they, Lawrence has forced the issue

This is what Steiner said to Autosport: "I would put it like this. They use a lot of Mercedes parts on their car, so why would they go and copy a Red Bull? It's the same with us,"

Well it will die off next year anyway (well for 12 months anyway). But Sainz seemed quite pragmatic about it when asked about the RP situation stating that’s there isn’t much they can do about it if RP is 1 sec a lap up the road. But yeah if you’re McLaren, Williams or Renault it’s gotta rankle a little.

The key words there are the last 5. We know it’s more than just photos in regard to Haas and Ferrari. Also when somebody starts a statement with ‘I would put it like this’ you know it’s a very carefully worded statement.

Also that’s just one conversation. I’m pretty sure he’s had more than just that one with the press pack! Like I say if you don’t wish to believe me don’t.

If Mattia is sandbagging then dang, really rock on heart kind of stuff.

Easy there I just asked what quote you refered to.. it is not about belief..

Ted has just quoted Binotto in saying when asked about being a Mercedes beater that ‘no not by Australia but maybe by the end of the season’ then when asked how it’s going that he wasn’t happy because they weren't fastest. Then when asked if they were second fastest he said ‘No’.

It doesn’t sound like Ferrari are a happy bunch ATM.

Doesn't sound good does it.

No I’m fine. It was a genuine ‘it’s up to you’ response.
