[quote="Tobias"][quote="Gaara"]Well the team has form for cheating, just under a different name.

Tyrrell in 1984?

Lewis Hamilton’s left/rear tyre was 0.3psi below the recommendation & Nico Rosberg’s left/rear was 1.1psi below the recommendation on the grid.

On the grid and after the 5-Minutes signal the tyre starting pressure and tread surface temperature of the left hand side rear tyre were checked on car numbers 44, 06, 05 and 07 and were compared with the specifications of the official Formula One tyre supplier. The specification for the minimum starting pressure is 19.5 PSI for the dry weather rear tyres and the maximum tyre blanket temperature is 110 °C for all dry weather tyres.

The tread surface temperature of the left hand side rear tyre of car numbers 44, 06, 05 and 07 was within the specification of the official Formula One tyre supplier.

The measured minimum tyre starting pressure of the left hand side rear tyre of car numbers 05 and 07 was above the specified minimum tyre starting pressure.

The measured minimum tyre starting pressure of the left hand side rear tyre of car number 44 was 0.3 PSI below the specified minimum tyre starting pressure and the measured minimum tyre starting pressure of car number 06 was 1.1 PSI below the specified minimum tyre starting pressure.

The tyre pressures were checked with the calibrated tyre pressure gauge of the official Formula One tyre supplier on all four cars.

I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration.

Well was thinking of BAR 2005, but yeaa, even more form.

just a question, the pressure are measure with cold tyres?
how much will the pressure rise with hot tyres?

i mean, they're talking values around 1.2 atm, i use pressure around 1.7 - 1.8 when i go mountainbiking on very rough trails, and you can feel the tyre is almost "flat", do they really run on such low pressures?

Technical Delegate’s report:

If Ricciardo got DQ'd for "cheating" the fuel flow thingy, I don't see why Hamilton should escape this one.
That would be very anal on the FIA's, but they gotta be consistent. Oh, wait...

Using the Ricciardo example, if this is a clear case of cheating then were Mercedes advised or warned by the stewards through the race? What notification was received by Pirelli? What tolerance is there built in to the 19.5 PSI minimum and were Mercedes outside it?

I do think you mean bar. PSI =/= Bar

I ment atm that are almost as equal as bar

I'm kind of surprised they use an old fashioned manual tyre pressure gauge, I'd have thought they would use the telemetry to monitor the pressures in real time.
