Have a strong opinion on this, black and white for me, no grey area, cheating ie breaking the rules is for losers, people and teams that are not good enough to compete fairly
If Mercedes and Redbull have found away to increase compression enough at temperature to increase power, good for them, well played, up to the other PU manufacturers to catch up or for the FIA to close the loophole

One of the reasons Porsche has won Le Mans 19 times was the careful scrutiny of the rules by Norbert Singer and staff. He found things that are legal to do that other teams missed. I got to eat dinner with him and his wife, and he signed my name badge. Interesting guy.
