FIA finds no proof of " trick oil " systems on Mercedes or Ferrari cars

http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id...suspicions-mercedes-ferrari-trick-oil-systems

 

I'm sure there is a cost benefit point where it may be less expensive to pay penalties and fines than to field a team (or 2). I'm not saying they will exit, but I wouldn't say it is impossible. There is nothing keeping them from just outright selling the teams.

 

What I took from the article is this: someone thinks they may have added fuel or another additive to the oil tank and were feeding it through the breathers to get an unmonitored and unchecked additional amount of fuel or additive into the engine. FIA says they found a normal amount of fuel in the oil due to normal operation and no other unusual substances or additives.

Kimi out, Bottas in at Ferrari?

Meh. If one team thinks another has found an advantage that may or may not be legal, it's right for them to request that it be investigated. I'm thinking back to the double diffusers Ross Brawn had in '08 that were so devastatingly effective. By the time the legality was settled (they were) and other teams got them on their cars, Brawn had the championship sewn up. Nothing wrong with any of that, in my mind.

 

Bottas for Raikkonen has been swirling around for a while , it makes sense that Ferrari would see whether they could secure Bottas from Williams a year early before deciding whether to pick up the option on Raikkonen's contract for next season
