The ride-height adjustment device has been the talk of the F1 paddock in Austin ahead of the United States GP.
The FIA will need to wait until the São Paulo Grand Prix for Red Bull to implement the required adjustments to its car as a result of the ride-height adjustment device discovery. Red Bull has confirmed the existence of a system on its RB20 that can modify the car’s ride height between qualifying and a grand prix. The FIA has responded by enhancing its procedures during parc fermé to prevent unauthorized changes. The device’s unveiling occurred after the Singapore Grand Prix via open-source components documents, leading to discussions between the FIA and Red Bull’s competitors. Though the FIA stated there is no evidence of Red Bull’s wrongdoing, precautionary measures like seals will be introduced. Red Bull and the FIA have agreed on a plan for modifications, but the process will not be immediate due to the system’s integration into the car. With back-to-back races prior to São Paulo, Red Bull faces time constraints in implementing the necessary changes.
