Uh you can't uh under the older engine freezers, you can't change anything except for reasons of cost, reliability or um safety.

But there was also a phrase in that clause that said in normal circumstances.
voice-verified
And this was classic Max Mosley terminology, because you can use that to define unusual circumstances, and that's why occasionally they could let people do a little bit to catch up and that kind of thing.
voice-verified
And it it's I I was thinking of that because it it it sums up a lot of what's going on here.
voice-verified
The difficulty of coming up with a pre arranged mechanism that works, and also the need for there to
voice-verified
be a bit of a fudge factor in doing it.
voice-verified
And that's where we are, aren't we, John?
voice-verified
Because uh Bentilian said, Well, you come to me with ideas for what needs to be done to make it possible for Honda to to catch up.
voice-verified

voice-verified
It's oh, how do we game this to our advantage?
voice-verified
Which means one of the questions you need to ask while formulating those regulations is how will everyone game these to their advantage?
voice-verified
Now, if you're the regulations writer, if you're the rule makers, I have sympathy because it's inevitable it's a much, much smaller group of people doing it, and then you send it out into the world where people have got all this resource, all this brain.
voice-verified
power all these people.
voice-verified
So you can't expect them to catch absolutely everything, but I I think you need to be a little bit more forward thinking in terms of uh in terms of how you uh a approach this.
voice-verified
But yeah, certainly
voice-verified
I think we can agree with the principle that that you don't want
voice-verified
You don't want a manufacturer cast adrift indefinitely.
