I made the statement as a general observation without knowing ALL THE FACTS, and I stated that in my post.

However, when a sanctioning body makes decisions of this kind, they need to look at the big picture and the possible implications that can arise in the future. That is my main concern.

All the batteries that have been approved are very close to each other in performance and quality. It is now up to the three main players (manufacturers) to continue their R&D and provide us with better products as they have been doing.

I do not care about measurements or weights to be honest; I look at the overall performance of a cell and what I can do as an engineer to exploit the power of that cell.

Politics set aside, let all the approved manufacturers/distributors continue with their ongoing goals of providing a better product to the racer.

In no way did I imply that it is up to the attorneys to get the products approved. I just want to clear that up.
