Horner denies allegations of illegality Mercedes – FormulaPassion.it – ​​F1 Team – Formula 1

[Aggiornamento ore 10.30] – Another specification provided to reporters by Red Bull: “We want to be clear: we have not and will not comment on the Mercedes car ”.

[Aggiornamento ore 10] – As published an hour ago by car, motor and sports, about the statements of Christian Horner about alleged Mercedes irregularities, it was flatly denied in a press release released to the media by Red Bull: “Horner did not give any interviews regarding the Mercedes single-seater. Any statement attributed to him this morning is incorrect ”.
Sentences therefore erroneously reported, which, moreover, would have aroused a prompt joke by Toto Wolff, always disseminated by the German publication: “How can you say that our car is illegal after just half an hour after seeing it? ”.

Just as the Red Bull RB18 was the great expectation at the Barcelona tests, today all the attention was catalyzed by the Mercedes W13 which actually presented a car strongly revised compared to the one observed in action in Barcelona and practically without bellies. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner immediately went on the attack: “The new Mercedes violates the spirit of the regulation – Horner’s words reported by the German newspaper Auto Motor and Sport – from our point of view there are some components that are not legal“. Adrian Newey, when questioned about these statements by Horner, said of have not yet seen well the images of the W13 and therefore cannot yet express his opinion. The controversies expected on the eve are therefore ready to explode in Bahrain. Ross Brawn has repeatedly stated that stables that violate the philosophy of the regulation would not be ‘forgiven’. We will see what the developments will be following the uncovering of a decidedly revolutionary Mercedes W13.
