The FIA's view on the ongoing saga involving Red Bull.
FIA chief Nikolas Tombazis has labelled Red Bull’s controversial adjustable ride height device as a “non-story” with the “present situation” now “under control”.Subscribe to our F1 NewsletterFor more information see ourA number of rival teams raised concerns that Red Bull are able to adjust the ride height of their car at the front under parc ferme conditions, which would contravene F1’s rules, while giving a performance advantage.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has insisted Red Bull are in the clear, stating the FIA are “happy with it”.He told Sky Sports: “At the previous race, it was pointed out to us that certain designs could allow a change of the height at the front of the car, which some people call a bib, in parc ferme. "We did not have any indication or any proof that anybody was doing something like that - that would clearly be illegal under parc ferme regulations. So we said that from this race onwards, there must be no possibility of doing such a thing at all. So if a team had a design that would allow a quick change of that height, it would have to be sealed so they could not have access in parc ferme.“It is certainly not a story from now on.
Tombazis declared the current situation as a “non-story” and that given it’s a tight championship battle, accusations like this aren’t surprising.“So we cannot definitively close the previous races or any insinuations there may be between teams in a very competitive environment, but in the present situation we believe it is a non-story, yes.
