Last year the pinkies protested Renault’s gps brake balance system so there’s probably a bit of payback.

On the other hand the pink car is a carbon copy of last year’s Mercedes which is a finger in the eye of The more independant teams fighting for best of the rest. If it’s a copy based on photos alone - cool. If the internal structure of some parts is identical to Mercedes then it proves they copied based on plans. Hence seizing both teams parts. The brake ducts are one they chose to fight on. Maybe more - from other teams. It happens a lot and force India racing point sport pesa kinda pushed the copy a little far it seems, lots of noses were bent out of joint. My bet is the stewards do nothing. And next year all the cars look like the 2020 Mercedes:-)
