Mercedes stated that even though they were changed before the regs they would be ran as if they had been introduced afterwards.

Well, if they stated it, we shall believe. After all, F1 teams are know for their openness and reliable source of information, especially about what they do on the background to win races.
The F1 paddock is known to leak info like a sieve and yet no info popped up saying it was BS. Strange that.
Whether it is GPTechnical or any other internet forum on this planet, everyone relies on rumors, speculation, insider leaks, team's PR statements from officials and various other types of channels to seek information about teams and we all rely on that information. That is how the whole of internet information is and for the purpose of arguments/discussions, it is the source of truth. It is that simple. Those who want real facts, should do everything possible to join the a team's inner sanctum and then be satisfied with the EXACT TRUTH. If they can't do it, then either accept the norm of the internet discussion, which is rumors/speculations/leaks/official team statements as closest to the truth and move on OR quit the internet and stay at peace. No point in challenging people here for EXACT TRUTH.

I honestly don't know why you are going on about this. Yes, Mercedes introduced their engine last year before the 0.9l/100 spec change. But Mercedes directly (through Toto) confirmed that they didn't do it to get around the oil limitation and that their engine will comply with the 0.9l. It's the best information we have and I see no reason to not believe it if it was already voiced directly.

What should be way more interesting to this season is that Renault are supposedly using 0.1l/100km (Quote by RB/Helmut) and Mercedes and Ferrari are at the now limit of 0.6l/100.
Then why did they do it? For the lolz? Because they just fitted an engine and didnt do mileage on it. Suddenly everyone believes what an f1 team is saying? Then why is everything that RBR and Ferrari say taken with a grain of salt?

Because there were other benefits to the spec4 engine than just oil burning?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II
