Rear brake ducts derived from Mercedes CAD

Rear brake ducts reverse-derived from Mercedes 2019 CAD data, at a moment when brake ducts had only recently become listed parts that a team must design itself.

The 2019 designs predated the change that made brake ducts listed parts.

A developed component without the development cost.

Ruled legal technically but in breach of the sporting regulations. EUR 400,000 fine and 15 constructors' points deducted. Brake ducts firmly in-house thereafter.

15 constructors' points deducted.

The only case here prosecuted under the sporting rules rather than the technical ones. A schema with only "regulation" as a mechanism cannot represent it at all.
