You’re about 5 years late to realizing FIA has no integrity…
Reiterating it is not the same as realizing it now.

16:1 measured at ambient temps
That sentence was added last year very late in the development cycle – too late for Mercedes’ competition to adapt. It was not present in earlier versions of the 2026 rulebook.

Maybe Japan could just, you know, erect public trash cans like so many other countries.


I dunno man, how do you know how long they’ve been discussing it with the FIA?
Clearly not long enough for the other manufacturers to adapt their designs.


All this bitching about innovation.
Maybe the rules shouldn’t place so many restrictions but the compression ratio is capped at 16:1 and the rules also spell it out black and white that the cars must comply at all times.
Also, combustion engines are the antithesis of innovation.


building it will have taken years
So you should agree with my argument because before last year there was no condition in the rules that the compression ratio would be measured only at ambient temperature. That means Mercedes would have designed the engine with cheating in mind from the get go and only very late – too late for the competitors to react – would they have convinced the FIA to amend the rules. How is that fair?


Mercedes found a loophole in the regulations

Where is the loophole there?
The bit about measuring compression ration at ambient temperature was added late in the rules cycle. Too late for rule-abiding teams to use that made for Mercedes “loophole”.

How would you know that they are breaking the rules?
Heat up the engine and find out. If Toto Wolff and his engine customers are against it, it’s an admission of guilt.
Oh they are against it? Guilty.


And the FIA is not going to rule that half the grid can’t compete because of this engine thing.
The engine is illegal because of §C1.5 and they should. They won’t because sporting integrity is not part of the FIA under MBS.
The screenshot doesn’t claim to use LLMs though.
Why wouldn’t a language translation service not use a large language model? The service is named after Deep Learning after all.


Wolff said: “The power unit is legal.
“The power unit corresponds to how the regulations are written
Let’s see:

So no.


Anyways, no actual AI company is going to buy $100M of AI cards just to run all of their software through an unfinished community made translation layer, no matter how good it becomes.
Good. So prices might actually be reasonable.


ZLUDA exists.


Then they switch to Qt and realize that VLC and Haruna (a mpv frontend) already cover the bases.

They’re all Latin dialects…
Yeah. So? Most reactions to terror attacks are very irrational. This is among them.
