What? How is that even enforced?
- mhh__ 5y agoThe onus is on the teams to prove it. If you cheat in formula 1 and they feel like punishing you a fine of one hundred million dollars is not unprecedented.
- avmich 5y agoAnd nobody uses parallel construction?
- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoGuessing what you meant here if it wasn’t obvious: A designer could have their own off-the-books compute cluster where they test out new ideas. Then only run the good ones on the official system.
- magicalhippo 5y agoThe difficulty of policing parallel construction was one of the key arguments against the cost-cap, IIRC.
- VBprogrammer 5y agoHonestly, even without outright cheating, a manufacturer team has so many advantages it's kind of pointless. Imagine a scenario where a brake duct needs to be redesigned to account for some change in regulation or a performance tweak. At someone like Mercedes the conversation would probably start with ok, let's dig out all of the CFD we did for this when we designed this in 2007, let's also grab the data on the changes we made on the GP2 last year, also weren't the LeMans team doing some work on this last month? From there they would be in a much better place to identify the points where they have to concentrate their efforts without expending a minute of new CFD time. At a small new entrant team none of this data is available to them.
- mhh__ 5y agoI think Mercedes even offload some engineering work to the real (non-British) Mercedes too - that's simply not possible for a team like Haas
