Postoji sumnja (koliko se sjećam) još od lani da imaju implementirano zakretanje stražnjih kotača u zavoju, nešto slično kao Renault u cestovnim vozilima, osim šta je to riješeno pomoću mehanike kod njih

It should come as no surprise then to note Mercedes’ technical director James Allison is the son of RAF air chief marshal Sir John Allison KCB CBE, a keen vintage aircraft collector and pilot who was at one stage director of operations and strategy for Jaguar Racing (now Red Bull) and once crash-landed a Messerschmitt during a demonstration flip. His son planned to qualify as a military pilot before colour blindness blocked that career path, leading him to switch to aerodynamics.

Red Bull has doubts about the legality of "DAS". But Mercedes has already clarified all four arguments against toe adjustment from the steering wheel with the FIA in advance. Red Bull is afraid that the competition will have to pay a lot of money for the copy.
FIA Technical Director Nikolas Tombazis is currently receiving a lot of mail. The teams are bombarding the FIA with many questions about "DAS", that spectacular toe adjustment system of Mercedes, which is activated by pulling and pushing the steering wheel.
The asking has two motives. One is to find out what's behind the system. The others doubt its legality. The second group includes Red Bull. Technical director Adrian Newey admits: "We haven't quite understood the benefits yet. But in our opinion, there are legitimate doubts about its legality."
Red Bull's zeal in this matter is obvious. Mercedes is the direct competitor. You don't grant them a technical advantage, and certainly not if you can't yet assess the advantages properly. In the end, it's a match winner. It would be the same the other way round.
Renault colleague Marcin Budkowski, on the other hand, is relaxed. "Mercedes is not our opponent. But if the system would show up at Racing Point tomorrow, we would ask the FIA a lot of questions as well." For Budkowski, the question of whether or not it is legal is a tightrope walk. "It depends entirely on how you interpret it."
Steering that does not steer
Critics of the system see four approaches to unhinge "DAS". One: The influence on aerodynamics. But even Adrian Newey has moved away from that theory. "The effect on aerodynamics is probably secondary." Mercedes thinks so: Every steering manoeuvre affects the aerodynamics because the front wheels change position.
Secondly: Violation of the parc fermé rules because, for example, when using the system in qualifying, the car's set-up is changed while driving. Argument against it: You do the same by adjusting the differential lock and the brake balance. All actions from the steering wheel are allowed, even if the setup changes.
Third: "DAS" is an intervention in the chassis configuration. Answer from Mercedes: You always do that when steering. The geometry of the chassis is already changing the toe and camber and therefore the ground clearance.
Fourthly: For Adrian Newey it is the killer argument: "The steering is there to steer. When you turn it, the car changes direction. But if you push and shove, the car keeps going straight ahead. So the requirement for the car to turn is not met."
But Mercedes is not worried about this argument either: "We have also clarified this point with the FIA beforehand. Every steering system has a certain play. You can choose the ratio freely. So even when you steer, there's no guarantee that the car will change direction."
A lot of money for one year
Ferrari claims that a similar system had been considered in the past, but rejected it because of doubts about its legality. "Anyone can say that afterwards", Mercedes mocks. And funny: A week before that, Ferrari still said that they had not had an active toe adjustment system on their radar.
The sudden 360-degree turn has the goal of discreetly putting the world association under pressure. Team Principal Mattia Binotto gives the man of honor: "We trust the FIA's judgment." After last year's engine episode, Ferrari must first keep its feet still and hope that others will succeed with their attacks on "DAS".
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is surprised that the FIA gave Mercedes the green light at all. "It should have been clear that Mercedes is forcing others to develop a similar system. A lot of money is wasted because of one year. In 2021 the system is banned anyway. "The world federation attributes "DAS" to the steering chapter. So it would be legal. Of course, the technical commissioners noticed the hype about the system. The story about the toe adjustment made waves around the world. Mercedes received much praise for its invention. But one FIA man also warned: "Let's see if people are still so enthusiastic when Mercedes is vastly superior."
