FIA:n tiedotteesta.
Autosport sanoi:
The FIA revealed that it was asked at the beginning of May by Pirelli whether it was possible for a team to test using a current car.
"Within the contract Pirelli has with the FIA as single supplier, there is provision for them to carry out up to 1000km of testing with any team - provided every team is offered the opportunity to do so," said the statement.
Pirelli siis kysyi ja sai luvan testauttaa 2013 autolla,
minkä tahansa tiimin kanssa, kunhan muillekin tiimeille tarjotaan samaa mahdollisuutta. FIA ei mainitse ehtona, että kaikkien pitää olla yht'aikaa läsnä.
"Pirelli and Mercedes-AMG were advised by the FIA that such a development test could be possible if carried out by Pirelli, as opposed to the team that would provide the car and driver, and that such tests would be conditional upon every team being given the same opportunity to test in order to ensure full sporting equity."
FIA oli siis etukäteen tietoinen, kun kerran osasi Pirelliä ja Mercedestä ohjeistaa.
FIA RECEIVED 'NO FURTHER INFORMATION'
The FIA added that following its initial communication with the team and tyre supplier it received no further information about the test - nor confirmation that all teams had been given the same opportunity to take part.
Pirelli kysyi ja FIA vastasi. Asiahan oli siis jo selvä. Ellei FIA
edellyttänyt lisätiedottamista, mihin tuossa ei viitata.
Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery had said earlier in the day that other teams had been asked to take part in such a test before, but that Mercedes was the first outfit to accept.
"We've done it before with another team and we've asked another team to do some work as well," he said.
Hembery siis sanoi, että muitakin oli kysytty (mutta avoimeksi jää mitä tarkoittaa "aiemmin"). Ja ettei tämä ollut ensimmäinen tällainen testi, vaan jonkun muun kanssa on samanlainen jo järjestetty aiemmin.
