The FIA is confident that measures taken to prevent teams from adjusting ride height under parc ferme conditions will eliminate concerns starting from the United States Grand Prix. Red Bull came under scrutiny after a competitor raised issues about their design in Singapore, prompting the FIA to enforce stricter parc ferme regulations. The FIA’s Nikolas Tombazis explained that sealing the component in question once adjustments are no longer allowed should dispel any doubts moving forward and attributes recent scrutiny to the intensity of the championship battle. Tombazis stated that teams must comply with the new rules to prevent any unauthorized changes during parc ferme, maintaining that the situation is under control. While FIA is unlikely to retroactively investigate previous races, the current focus is on ensuring fair competition and maintaining integrity within a highly competitive environment. Christian Horner of Red Bull emphasized that the contested set-up has been in place since 2022 regulations, untouched like other parc ferme-regulated parts of the car.
