RedBull are at a mysterious loss as to explain their tire degradation. Really??????

Good point! Never considered that possibility.
This, after Horner insisted that there was nothing wrong with their floor, too! So you just had to know it was illegal. LOL.

I do wonder if it wouldn't be better/safer if they just allowed all teams to copy this design for the balance of the year (technology sharing - maybe give RBR and Ferrari some credit toward their cost cap for having developed the idea and making it available for other teams) - it would probably resolve the safety / driver health issue from porpoising for most teams that the FIA insist gets addressed. Just make it illegal for 2023 so teams can adjust.

It certainly made for better racing. People were actually talking about action on the track, not about drivers being shaken not stirred. AND it will save a fortune in future dental claims for driver benefits (as their teeth get shaken ouf of their heads)!!!
