Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has criticized the device used by Red Bull to raise its front bib as “outrageous”.

The FIA has acknowledged its inability to confirm whether the device was used in previous events between qualifying and the race, prompting McLaren CEO Zak Brown to request signed affidavits from Red Bull.

Wolff expressed disbelief at the use of such devices in Formula 1 and raised doubts about Red Bull’s promise to not use the system again in the future.
