A lot of focus has been placed on Red Bull on the build-up to the US Grand Prix from Austin, Texas amid scrutiny over it being able to adjust the car’s ride height.
Oscar Piastri suggested that Red Bull’s alleged ability to secretly adjust its car’s ride height between qualifying and a grand prix clearly violates F1 regulations. A report prior to the US Grand Prix revealed a team was using a system to adjust their car’s front-bib clearance, later identified as Red Bull. The team has acknowledged discussions with the FIA about the matter and intends to make changes to comply with regulations. Currently, Red Bull is in a close title fight with McLaren, who leads the constructors’ championship by 41 points. Piastri expressed concern that Red Bull’s device exceeds the limits of technical regulations, while teammate Lando Norris hopes this discovery could strengthen McLaren’s position in the championship. Piastri and Norris both believe that if the device is indeed being used, it crosses the line from pushing boundaries to breaking rules, and Piastri emphasized that it should be considered illegal by the FIA.
