Christian Horner, F1 team representative of Red Bull Racing, conducted an internal investigation to see if there was an IP (intellectual property right) leak after the Aston Martin AMR22 was transformed into a figure that closely resembled the team’s RB18. He said he was doing it.
The upgraded version of the Aston Martin F1 in Barcelona, the AMR22, had side pods that closely resembled the Red Bull Racing RB18.
However, Aston Martin F1 denies cheating. The upgrade is entirely the result of their own work and claims to have been approved by the FIA (International Automobile Federation).
Christian Horner, F1 team representative for Red Bull Racing, noted that some staff had left Red Bull to move to Aston Martin earlier this season. Among them is Dan Fallows, a former chief aero dynamist.
“After all, imitation is the biggest form of flattery,” Christian Horner told Sky F1.
“And it’s no coincidence that there were a few individuals who moved from Red Bull to Aston Martin in the early winter of this season.”
“In fact, at the beginning of the week, the FIA said,’I have a car that looks very similar to your car, but can I get a list of retirees to see where they went?'” Triggered the attention of
“Of course, it immediately sounded a warning, so now it’s permissible to look up and down the paddock for individuals to move from team to team after a gardening vacation period. What came to their minds It’s a fair game. It’s their knowledge. “
“It’s not fair, what we’re totally unacceptable is whether there was an IP transfer, and we can’t accept it.”
Christian Horner has revealed that an internal investigation is currently underway in Red Bull to see if an IP transfer has occurred.
“I’m not going to disclose exactly where a particular individual or we are, but because IP is the lifeline of the team and we’ve invested millions of pounds, it’s a crime, a criminal offense. A rival organization. You don’t want to see him become a criminal, “said Christian Horner.
“Otherwise, we might be able to sell Aeronaina Misuku.”
“We are already doing an internal investigation. We have our own software protection to know exactly which software is locked out and where it is controlled.”
“But I think this is the job of the regulatory agency FIA, because they have access and it is very dependent on them to ensure that there is no IP transfer and no misuse. Therefore, it is their job to monitor it. “
“In fact, there is a set precedent. For us, it’s not the biggest problem unless Aston Martin starts to beat us, but it can have a significant impact on the team in the midfield.”
“And I think the biggest thing for us is to ensure that our IP is protected and not abused.”
