Formula 1’s technical tit-for-tat between title protagonists Red Bull and McLaren has taken a fresh twist at the Brazilian Grand Prix with the emergence of a new theory of alleged tyre trickery
The technical battle between Red Bull and McLaren in Formula 1 has escalated at the Brazilian Grand Prix with allegations of tire trickery. Red Bull is puzzled by its sudden loss of early season dominance, leading to speculation about alleged tactics by rivals, particularly McLaren, who have displayed late-race strength. Despite exploring their own car development and ruling out significant changes, Red Bull remains suspicious of teams adding fluids to tires to maintain cooler temperatures and improve performance. This tactic, if true, would violate regulations and could affect tire consistency and pressure control. The source of this knowledge is believed to come from past exploration, with suspicions that engineers at other teams may be continuing such practices. The situation remains unresolved, with Pirelli acknowledging the potential tactic but lacking concrete evidence.
