don't believe the bullshit. they straight up built a car knowing it was everything the whole "over taking group" put the rules in place to stop.
it just makes for a great show to have the big teams turned upside down and have to come back thru the field as the season wears on. so there's no way they could strip the defuser cars. the backlash would be a loss of new fans and new sponsers. had the teams asked in the protest to just have them block off the defusers. they may have won. but they asked for all 3 of the teams to be stripped of everything. wins, points and everything for the first 3 races. and the fia just plain can't do that when they are struggling to fill the grid as it is.
so the big money teams get screwed this year, next year will be more normal and less of a gimmick
