Compression ratio case, Aston Martin and Newey furious with the FIA. Complaints on the horizon for Melbourne?

The FIA ​​decides not to decide On Thursday it emerged that the meeting between the FIA ​​and the engine engineers ended without surprises, with substantial nothing done immediately and a commitment to implement the hot measurement of the compression ratio in motion and no longer at rest, “at room temperature” as put in black and white by the regulation.
But the introduction of this sensor will not be immediate and the path to a change in the technical regulation is tortuous and not at all fast. The press review Frederic Ferret’s analysis from the columns of L’Equipe is interesting, telling of an FIA-engineers meeting that would only have “complicated things”, with the new measurement system that will be implemented with an “unknown timing”. The French newspaper then underlined “the specter of a chaotic and controversial start to the world championship”, with “Aston Martin and Adrian Newey furious over this move linked to the engine”. The risk is that an Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne could see “one or more teams” lodge a complaint. However, it is not clear whether it is only Mercedes that has found this compression ratio trick, because the Times assures that “the news leaked after some Mercedes employees left the company to join Red Bull. But it is not known whether Mercedes and Red Bull have adopted the same solution”.
The Telegraph instead underlined the confidences of a rival team of Mercedes and Red Bull, how the FIA ​​and Nicholas Tombazis “had no idea whatsoever of how much difference the offending solution could have made on the track”, adding that “it would be astonishing if some teams did not protest”.
