But to prevent scenarios like we have now they maybe should have enforced them more. As Eldrick said they make up their interpretations of the rules.
I'm not saying what Mercedes is doing is right but they are technically asking the FIA to enforce their own rules. Regardless that they have turned a blind eye to it and in the past.

What do you mean a weak legal defence? It’s the rules. No one has ever interpreted that rule to mean you can’t be ahead for even a single second. That’s not what that rule means and that’s not what it has ever meant.
So it’s a pretty weak legal defence to want to change the rule just for this one instance. Which funny enough, is why the lapped cars issue is problematic.
