Nem úgy van az. Az csak egy javaslat volt tárgyalás kezdésére a csapatok között a témában. A dolgot a FOTA motor munkacsoportja fogja intézni. És különben se csak a Mercedest érintené, és az engedélyük, szándékuk nélkül meg se történhetne.
Q. (Ralf Bach – R & B) When the engines were frozen two years ago, everybody thought it was maybe the right thing to do. When Renault was allowed last year to maybe make the engine a little bit better, I thought OK, maybe they were so far away from the competition that they should be allowed to do it. But now I don't understand anything anymore. Do you think it's Formula 1 when Mercedes is forced to reduce the power of the engine, because they maybe have the best engine? Is this Formula 1 for people and spectators anymore?
SDomenicali: First of all, no one has said that the Mercedes engine has to be re-tuned.
NHaug: If you read the (FIA) press release this is not the case. I think maybe you should go through it once more. It is written very conditionally but it doesn't speak about Mercedes at all. It's not a Mercedes issue. It is just a general issue.
SD: We can discuss if freezing everything in Formula 1 is correct or not but this is a decision that once again went in the direction of trying to reduce the cost of Formula 1. I think that, as an engine manufacturer, we have done a lot in order to reduce the cost for customers, in order to make sure that we were able to come and be on the grid in Formula 1 and I think this is due to FOTA and to the effort that the manufacturers made altogether. Then, if this is correct or not, I would say that's a question that is difficult to answer. The opposite answer can be that if that was not the case, if we were here with the things that we have on the grid, question mark; we don't know. But on the other subject, I cannot really answer because it's not the specific issue that was discussed in the FIA. There is an engine working group that will deal with the engine situation, that will be discussed and we will discuss it within the group as always and see what the situation is but nothing more than that.
MTheissen: Even as an engine guy I have supported the homologation because almost everything that we have achieved in the past two or three years in terms of cost reduction came from the engine side, through homologation and the extension of engine life, so that was certainly a very important and positive step. As you said before, we had the discussion a year ago about the Renault engine. It was dealt with within the engine working group and we came to a conclusion between the engine manufacturers that if there was a situation like this again, it should be dealt with in the same away again, and we would see what the outcome was.
