In the Formula 1 paddock there is a constant fight to unearth the truth in the face of obfuscation - nay, make that objection; obstruction even - by those with their own agendas, whether these fudge poor performance, or simply advance their own interests regardless of the impact on the greater good of F1.
Despite dismissive claims from some teams in public, the fact of the matter is - refer quotations below - that, just as the Strategy Group did discuss price caps of €12m and €8m for current specification and "Current -1" (year-old) engines, it also discussed an outright ban on windtunnels, with some suggesting that said regulation should be introduced "as soon as possible".
The key word here is "discuss", for the Strategy Group holds neither executive power nor mandate to introduce regulation changes. The group - which some of its own increasingly suggest should be disbanded - exists, as the name implies, to formulate and vote on the sport's future direction, with its recommendations then forwarded to the F1 Commission.
