The story enlivened the day before
The question related toMercedes front wing which in China had highlighted a ‘double’ closure animated the eve of the Japanese GP. The FIA closed the matter by underlining that it had accepted Mercedes’ explanation, which explained that it had made a calculation error, triggering what was ultimately a problem to be managed and not a solution that guaranteed a performance advantage.
Questioned by Sky on why Ferrari didn’t complain about the Mercedes winger to the Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur he responded like this: “We didn’t notice it live, we noticed it when analyzing the GP and at that point it was a bit too late to protest. I don’t want to make any controversy about it, I just want to focus on our team.”
The number one on the Ferrari wall underlined that it is important at this moment win points without looking too much at the gap from Mercedes because another championship will begin from Miami.
