Toto Wolff has provided his view on the whether McLaren is using illegal methods to manage its tyre and brake temperatures.
According to Toto Wolff, he is confident that the McLaren is compliant with regulations after a contentious Miami Grand Prix weekend that resurfaced Red Bull’s previous allegations. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown directly challenged Christian Horner’s team to substantiate claims of illegal tyre and brake cooling methods. Despite earlier accusations, the FIA’s investigation last season found no misconduct by McLaren. Red Bull reportedly conducted its own inquiry with thermal imaging cameras during the Florida event. Brown’s subtle jab at Horner during practice, sipping from a “Tire Water” bottle, drew a witty response from the Red Bull principal. Wolff praised the integrity of McLaren’s personnel, emphasizing their adherence to the rules and exceptional car development. He commended McLaren’s effective tire management and unequivocally deemed their strategies legal and legitimate.
