Ferrari became the subject of controversy as testing came to a close after the FIA revealed it had reached a confidential 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“settlement” with the Scuderia over how t♔he Italian team used its engine throughout the 🌠2019 campaign.
The announcement sparked outrage among the seven non-Ferrari powered teams, who in a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:joint communication 𒁃demanded📖 transparency and details of the secret deal. The FIA 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:responded 🌌explaining its reasoning for not making the details of its inve💖stig🏅ation public.
After being somewhat overshadowed by the coronavirus crisis, the subject was brought up again last month when McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown challenged Ferrari team princip🍸al Mattia Binotto to share the full details of the arrangement after the FIA said it w🅘ould be willing to volunteer the information.
And Abiteboul agrees that clarification is required in order to move on fro꧒m the situation.
“It’s something of the previous world, but it’s still something w🅰hich at some point should be addressed,” Abiteboul told the official Formula 1 website.
“We live in a world which is to🌠tally open. We are not challenging the process, we only want to find out what happened.
“We want to find out what the legality concern was and also to make sure we are staying away from similar legality questio🗹n marks.
“Very simply, I’m an engine manu🌳facturer myself, I want to make sure my engine doesn’t pose the same legality question mark. I don’t think so.
“But I think it only makes sense if the regulations are clear and the decisions are clear for all participant🔯s – that’s what we’re asking.
“We have no intent to change what has been doꦆne. We would like to know in order to move on.”
