Mercedes wheel design gets FIA all-clear after Ferrari probe
标题：在Ferrari 的追问之后，Mercedes 的轮圈设计获得了FIA的认可
The FIA has given the all-clear to Mercedes' clever new wheel hub and rims,
in the wake of a clarification request from Ferrari.
Sources have revealed that Ferrari approached the FIA asking questions about
the rear wheel rim and hub design that its title rival had used in recent
races.
在法拉利的澄清要求后，FIA 已经认可了Mercedes 巧妙的新轮毂和轮圈设计。
消息人士透露，法拉利向FIA 询问有关后轮圈和轮毂设计的问题，这些是其竞争对手
在最近的比赛中所使用的。
In particular, Ferrari wanted to know why Mercedes was able to run with a rim
design that featured a collection of holes that appeared similar in many ways
to a concept that Red Bull was banned from using at the 2012 Canadian Grand
Prix.
特别值得一提的是，Ferrari 想知道为什么Mercedes 能够采用含有一串孔洞的轮圈设
计，这些孔洞在很多方面与Red Bull 在2012年加拿大大奖赛上被禁止使用的概念相似。
Back then, Red Bull was forced to make modifications to its front wheel hubs
because holes that channelled air from the brake ducts to the outside of the
wheel were ruled to be moveable aerodynamic devices.
当时，红牛被迫对其前轮轮毂进行改装，因为从刹车导管向车轮外部引导空气的孔
被规则视为为可移动的空力装置。

Under what was then Article 3.15 of the Formula 1 Technical Regulations,
teams were told that "any specific part of the car influencing its
aerodynamic performance" must be "rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part
of the car" and must remain "immobile in relation to the sprung part of the
car."
根据"F1 技术规则"第3.15条，车队被告知"赛车上任何产生空气动力学作用的
特定部件"必须"严格固定在由弹簧固定的赛车部分之上"，而且必须保持"与相
关弹簧固定部分不动状态"。
The rotation of the air in the hub was deemed to have been energising the air
flow, so was ruled to be illegal.
轮毂中的空气转动被认为是为气流提供能量，因此被认为是非法的。
Mercedes rear wheels
Amid the focus from Ferrari about how its main rival has been able to make
such big gains with its car since the Belgian Grand Prix, there has been a
great deal of interest on the new wheel hubs and rims that have helped
Mercedes better manage tyre temperatures.
Mercedes 的后轮
自比利时大奖赛以来，在Ferrari 对其主要竞争对手是如何在赛车取得如此大的
成功的关注中，人们对新的轮毂和轮圈产生了极大的兴趣，这些轮毂和轮圈帮助
Mercedes 更好地管理轮胎温度。
At Spa Francorchamps, new wheel rims were fitted to the car with extra ridges
aimed to helping cool the rear tyres.

This change was subsequently followed up with suspension tweaks and a new
rear wheel hub design (below) at the Singapore Grand Prix – which was a race
where Mercedes pulled off a major surprise as it ended up the quickest car.

But intrigue about what Mercedes was doing was fuelled when pictures of the
inside of the new Mercedes wheel rims showed they had holes inside where the
hub attaches to it – as can be seen in this photograph.
但是，当Mercedes 新轮圈内侧的照片显示内部有一些孔洞附在轮毂旁时，Mercedes
正在做的事情引起了人们的兴趣 - 正如这张照片所示。

The presence of the holes pointed back to Red Bull's banned concept from 2012
where air channels were rotating to help with airflow.
这些洞的存在指向了2012年Red Bull 被禁止的概念：旋转空气通道用以帮助气流。

The current concept of blown axles – which was pioneered by Williams in 2013
– has always been based on the airflow channel being fixed, as can be seen
below, so there could be no grey area about the holes rotating.
目前 由Williams 在2013年率先推出的吹轴概念 - 气流通道是固定的，如下所示，
因此就不会有孔洞旋转的灰色地带。

In a bid to clear up the matter, Ferrari elected to query it with the FIA to
try to understand if it needed to pursue its own solution or whether Mercedes
had pushed things too far.
为了解决这个问题，Ferrari 选择向FIA 进行询问，试图了解是否需要寻求自己
的解决方案，或者Mercedes 是否已经做过头了。
Following the Ferrari request, it has emerged that the FIA has looked in
detail at the design and concept of the Mercedes hubs and rims – which one
source has described as 'interesting'.
根据Ferrari 的要求，FIA 已经开始详细研究Mercedes 轮毂和轮圈的设计和概念 -
其中一个来源称其为"有趣"。
The FIA's investigation has concluded that what Mercedes is doing is very
different to the 2012 Red Bull system and is fully in compliance with the
regulations.
FIA 的调查得出结论，Mercedes 所做的与2012年Red Bull截然不同，完全符合规定。
Both Mercedes and Ferrari have subsequently been informed about the FIA's
ruling on the matter.
随后Mercedes 和Ferrari 都被告知FIA 对此事的裁决。
The dispute over the wheel design comes amid the backdrop of long-running
tensions between the teams this year over design developments – which have
included Ferrari's double battery system and mirror designs on both cars.
关于车轮设计的争议是在今年车队之间因设计开发长期紧张的背景下出现的 -
其中包括Ferrrari 的双电池系统和两款车的后照镜设计。
============================================================================
看起来就是法拉拉之前被梅奔告状搞得不爽，加上看到梅奔升级太过成功讨回优势
所以也去跟FIA 告状说他们后轮是不是违规
结果FIA 说没有~
而且看起来事件已经过了一段时间，只是到现在才爆出来
这新闻刚出现不到50分钟我就看到了，应该也是外媒最先出现的详细文章
跟楼上某篇根据义媒讲的东西差距有点多
所以决定转这篇文过来澄清，顺便翻一下
边翻边打瞌睡，若有翻错或是不好的地方再请各位指正~ 谢谢
