F1 2021 secrecy obsession not unusual, says Fry
During the run of 2021 car launches this year, the lengths that some teams went to to hide their new ideas became a big talking point.

Red Bull went a step further by holding back on publishing any pictures of its new RB16B from a filming day at Silverstone. While the lengths the teams went to to keep things private surprised some onlookers, for the teams involved the situation was actually quite typical.

Official: Tesla exports China made Model 3 to over 10 countries in Europe
Tesla will export electric cars to Europe, just like BMW and Polestar did recently.
