F1~CEO Domenikali convened a regular meeting of 10 team leaders during F1 Canada last week. The topic of discussion is naturally inseparable from the technical instructions introduced by the FIA this time on restricting "dolphin jumping". German auto and sports (AMuS) reporters said the overall atmosphere at the meeting was very tense and emotional.
At the meeting, Ferrari team manager Binotto expressed his dissatisfaction with the introduction of technical instructions. Binotto argues that technical directives are used to interpret existing rules, not to modify existing ones. If the FIA requires that the relevant rules be amended for safety reasons, it must be submitted to the WMSC (World Council of Motor Sport) and a resolution must be passed.
Mercedes team leader Toto Wolff was extremely dissatisfied with Binotto's statement, and believed that the leaders present were irresponsible, and if no measures were taken to avoid "dolphin jumping", it was likely to cause a major accident.
Since the Netflix crew was also present at the time to shoot the material for the new season of "Survival", Horner then whispered to Wolfe whether he deliberately showed a small emotion because the Netflix crew was present.
Horner said in an interview On Sunday that the atmosphere at the meeting was "dramatic" and that perhaps he (Wolff) had already considered a role in Hamilton's new film.
Aston Martin team manager Mike Clarke, who had just taken up his post at the start of the season, was surprised to see the whole process. Clark said in an interview that Horner had asked the Netflix crew who were present if they could turn off the cameras, but I don't know if they did.
