This reminds me of how F1 teams will look for any ambiguity in the regulations to allow them to take advantage over fellow teams.
Mercedes with their "not rigid enough" rear wing springs to mind. The sporting rule makers later clarified exactly what was and was not allowed.

Not cheating by any means — they never tried to hide it — but nevertheless a very creative interpretation of the rules! https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f1/gordon-murray-looks-back-notorious-brabham-fan-car https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f...
