    FIA clamps down on F1 teams using exhaust blowing for aero gains - https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/135563/fia-issues-fresh-clampdown-on-exhaust-blowing


    The FIA is imposing a fresh clampdown on trick engine modes that help exhaust blowing of rear wings in Formula 1, following fresh intrigue about the matter.

    With Renault's blown rear wing having been under the spotlight during pre-season, and suggestions that Ferrari had been working on this area too, which was potentially linked to the mystery third paddle on Sebastian Vettel's steering wheel, the FIA has stepped in ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

    In a note sent to teams by Nikolas Tombazis, the FIA's head of single-seater technical matters, he said it was responding to "numerous questions" about exhaust blowing.

    "We do not accept that engine modes specifically designed to increase the exhaust flow in corners are permissible," wrote Tombazis.


    "Such (not permissible) engine modes can be either specific to a compressor-turbine by-pass system, or to flow passing through the cylinders.

    "To be permissible, such flows should be the result of settings that genuinely increase the performance or reliability of the power unit, and not contrived to increase the exhaust flow."

    The FIA intends to handle each case on an individual basis.

    Tombazis added: "Notwithstanding the above point, we do not feel that it is practical or easy to write a catch-all rule that achieves this aim in a perfect way.

    There is a Hamilton bashing thread here on F1. It's right in-between pre-school and kindergarten. Now go take your nap.

    Well said, he is never travelling fast enough to crash himself, caused a few, but hasn’t had many........ he has plenty of time to react when he ****s up at 50mph

    And when he gets there and posts, despite your advising him that that is where we are free to hose down elton, lots of people seem to press report buttons and moan that the poor little chap is getting ribbed or that they ‘feel intimidated’ by the jokes

    People are allowed to like or dislike who they like, and post anything they want within reason, and posting about wanting elton to fail in Baku is fair game in the pre-race banter for Baku

    One of the highlights from last year, Kimi getting pushed to his spot in the pit lane without a steering wheel!

    Just remember this is "FERRARI Chat" not "I want to marry Lewis Hambone fanboy chat". As for that nap perhaps latter on I got a pizza to order and a few ladies to say farewell to prior to moving out of Hell Paso ;)

    I've never heard him put blame on someone else...I've heard him take responsibility when he makes a mistake. And why would someone wish for any driver to crash. Raise the bar of you conversation guys...your comments say more about you than about Hamilton.
