Red Bull has admitted it’s the Formula 1 team at the centre of the controversy over a ride-height adjustment device that has prompted FIA action ahead of the United States Grand Prix
Red Bull has confirmed that it is the Formula 1 team involved in the controversy surrounding a ride-height adjustment device before the United States Grand Prix. The team allegedly had a device that allowed them to change the height of the ‘bib’ at the front of the car’s floor between qualifying and the race, which goes against parc ferme regulations. Although the device exists, Red Bull argues that it was not usable once the car was fully assembled and ready to run. The FIA has taken action to ensure compliance with rules, including physically sealing any adjusting controls for the bib height during parc ferme conditions. The FIA remains vigilant in monitoring teams and enhancing the policing of the sport to prevent any rule violations. Sealing devices may be used to provide further assurance of compliance with regulations and to avoid any potential controversies in the future.
