For the sake of consistency they probably shouldn't grant an exception, but I would prefer if this rule didn't exist at all. Let teams take risks with young drivers, it's not like the grid would be full of 17 year olds if there wasn't an age limit.
Until now I was under the impression that this was the goal of these notices:
If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
Because if an LLM ingests a comment with a copyright notice like that, there's a chance it will start appending copyright notices to it's own responses, which could technically, legally, maybe make the AI model CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? A way to "poison" the dataset, so that OpenAI is obliged to distribute it's model under that license. Obviously there's no chance of that working, but it draws attention to AI companies breaking copyright law.
Correct, according to Erik van Haren he's stepping away from F1 immediately and will be free to leave Red Bull altogether at the beginning of 2025, which is when teams will start developing their 2026 cars.
No, you can't stop engineers from testing aero in their heads, but I would imagine teams are required to keep logs and documentation of development work/wind tunnel time/computer simulations for FIA to inspect at any time. It's nothing new either, each team has a wind tunnel time and CFD allocation per season, and there's no development allowed over the summer break. I suppose in the end you have to trust that FIA is enforcing these rules properly, but you can never know for sure.
Remember that teams will only be allowed to work on their 2026 car from the start of 2025 and new regulations aren't even finalized. Red Bull will be developing the aero without Newey, and are working on the new engine without Honda. Some exciting times coming, hopefully.
As far as terrible sponsors go HP's anti-consumer bullshit seems almost tolerable when compared to Big Oil, cancer sticks and the rest. Isn't the advertising industry simply lovely.
Synchronized track limit violations lmao
