According to a report, Red Bull has been given the all-clear over its controversial front bib device after the FIA visited the outfit’s Formula 1 base in Milton Keynes.
Reports from the United States Grand Prix paddock suggested that Red Bull had a front bib height adjuster hidden in the footwell of the RB20, sparking concerns from competitors like McLaren about potential illegal use under parc ferme rules. Red Bull defended itself by stating that the adjuster had been publicly listed for years, denying any wrongdoing and pointing out that other teams also had similar devices inaccessible when the car is fully assembled. McLaren’s CEO, Zak Brown, called for an FIA investigation, while Christian Horner accused rivals of paranoia. Despite FIA’s affirmation that no irregularities were definitively proven, Brown remained unsatisfied, demanding further accountability from Red Bull’s team members. Subsequently, FIA officials visited Red Bull’s headquarters for a thorough investigation, ultimately confirming that the front bib device complied with F1 regulations, quelling the controversy surrounding its use in races.
