I did see some scuttlebutt about there being something in Horner’s and Newey’s contracts saying if one leaves the other can too. (I also heard the same about Verstappen’s contract to Newey.)
And that would make some sense as to why Lewis is going to Ferrari.
Just throwing shit at the wall to...
Correct, BimmerCode is for coding/changing things. BimmerLink is for monitoring, resetting service intervals, registering a new battery, manual override for the exhaust valve, etc.
Not BimmerCode, you want BimmerLink to register a battery.
However, I believe if you are swapping to the same battery you may not have to register it since they would be the same amperage. One of these racing guys will confirm or correct that.
Had someone ask me where I had read that and now realize “turn off” was a poor description. Technically they go into a sleep mode so probably the same as a laptop, not fully off but using minimal energy.
