Racing Point lodge an official protest against Renault

From the technical regulations:

11.1.2

The brake system must be designed in order that the force exerted on the brake pads within each circuit are the same at all times.

11.1.3

Any powered device, other than the system referred to in Article 11.9, which is capable of altering the configuration or affecting the performance of any part of the brake system is forbidden.

and then

11.9

Rear brake control system : The pressure in the rear braking circuit may be provided by a powered control system provided that :

a) The driver brake pedal is connected to a hydraulic master cylinder that generates a pressure source that can be applied to the rear braking circuit if the powered system is disabled.

b) The powered system is controlled by the control electronics described in Article 8.2.

This seems like the only electrical assistance can be as an aid to the driver, like power braking, so they don't have to generate all the force on the cylinder with just their leg. Not (in my understanding) electronically control a variation of the brakes depending on race position.

It seems like that would be totally illegal under rules 11.1.2 and 11.1.3.
