I'm not sure why so many people keep alluding to Ferrari having to show their system if its taken to court.timbo wrote: ↑06 Mar 2020, 18:43I don't think the protest can go anywhere; what would happen if the case is taken to the court?
FIA had a look at the fuel system of SF90 and couldn't find anything. Ferrari will definitely object demonstrating their fuel system to the competitors, on the grounds of revealing their technical know-how. In 2007 McLaren case there were some details disclosed, but they were relatively minor. And without the competitors' involvement, new pieces of evidence are unlikely to be found.
Something can be reached if fuel systems of all four manufacturers could be presented and compared, but is it possible?
In a case like this where intellectual property is a concern it is possible that a NDA bound 3rd party would be brought in to investigate.
Edit:
The NDA bound 3rd party is what the FIA is supposed to be, but imo they have failed horribly in this case.
