Formula 1 in the live ticker: Ferrari won the last two Grand Prix in Spa - surprise victory in Belgium?
Mercedes is once again the favorite in Spa . Because the route with few curves and many full throttle passages suits Mercedes very well. But a lot can happen in the Ardennes, rain has often turned the field upside down. The race was seen as the living room of Michael Schumacher , who usually coped best with the changeable conditions in Belgium.
Even Sebastian Vettel has Spa to his favorite race chosen and feels especially comfortable in the Ardennes. Vettel has already won three times in Belgium, most recently two years ago, his penultimate victory in Formula 1. Last year, by the way, team-mate Charles Leclerc triumphed in Spa. If everything goes smoothly, Vettel in Belgium could already sign a contract with another team for the next season. *

- Scuderia Ferrari (@ScuderiaFerrari) August 26, 2020Formula 1 in the live ticker: Copy Zoff in Formula 1 - Renault withdraws protest
In Formula 1, a copy dispute is raging over the racing car from Racing-Point * . This could soon be over, because the French Renault factory team announced before the Belgian Grand Prix that they would withdraw the protest against a decision by the stewards. "We should leave the controversy at the start of the season behind us in order to concentrate on the rest of an intense and unique championship," said a broadcast from Renault. It is unclear whether Ferrari and Racing Point itself, which wanted to take action against the judgment of 400,000 euros and 15 points deduction, will withdraw their appeals. If neither of them do that, the matter will go to the Court of Appeal of the International Automobile Association.
The dispute is generally about the fact that certain components on the racing cars have to be designed and developed by the teams themselves . In particular, Renault complained about the brake ventilation of the two racing cars from Racing Point. In any case, the team is accused of being more or less a copy of the Mercedes from last season - the German car manufacturer is Racing Point's drive partner.

Another important change in the agreement is “that some things can be decided with an overwhelming majority and no longer with unanimity.” Marko is also very satisfied with the new distribution of money: “What we get less at Red Bull, we get in more at AlphaTauri. It actually balances out, ”explained Marko. (ck / dpa) * tz.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network
