Good thread:

Explanation of why Mercedes has strong grounds for an appeal: (a lawyer’s perspective) - THREAD 1. “Any” does not mean all, however it does mean “of all cars, those that fit into the relevant category” i.e. cars which are lapped, this could mean zero cars, 10 cars etc. 1/5 #F1 https://t.co/Djd5R7TgQv

2. This isn’t disputed, when the safety car “in this lap” message appears then the safety car does have to return on that lap, however this does not address the fact the message shouldn’t have been put up when it was / a partial application of 48.12. 2/5

3. As above. Also note that nowhere does it suggest that any regulation has greater weight than another or the ability to “override” - the rules work on the assumption that all other rules are applied correctly and in full. 3/5

4. That gives the Race Director overriding authority to decide how to use the Safety Car however he must still do so in accordance with the rules - it does not give the Race Director authority to override rules or to decide to partially apply a rule. 4/5

5. This is pure speculation and should not be admissible as a point of argument. Either the rules are applied in full or not at all, that is the certainty that is required for compliance to be assured. 5/5
