Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has made the team’s stance on a protest clear.
Ferrari has decided not to launch a protest against Mercedes-powered F1 teams at the Australian GP amid the ongoing compression ratio controversy. Talks are continuing between the FIA and the five power unit manufacturers regarding the issue developed by Mercedes HPP. The increased compression ratio of 18:1 by Mercedes when the engine is hot has sparked a dispute, with Ferrari, Audi, and Honda pushing for changes in measurement requirements. The swing vote lies with Red Bull Powertrains, which is reportedly backing the challenge led by the former trio. A supermajority of the PUAC, comprising of four teams, the FIA, and FOM, must vote in favor to change the rules. Ferrari’s boss, Vasseur, stated that while they seek clarity in regulations, they are not looking to protest, emphasizing the importance of a shared understanding among all teams and stakeholders in F1.
