So apparently Red Bull has admitted it is them and will be making changes to the RB20. My understanding is that the adjustment capability is not specifically illegal. What other teams (and FIA) are concerned about is that with the location for making the adjustment being in the cockpit, that it allows for potential easy of breaking parc ferme rules. This is apparently not a driver control, but the fear is that an engineer could easily covertly adjust without anyone noticing while in parc ferme. In short, no proof of cheating, but calls to alter to prevent potential for cheating. Who knows if anything was done against rules previously or not. Probably impossible to prove one way or another at this point. Richard |

Which proves that it is best not to jump to conclusions about who may have been the naughty boys. |

Selfishly I am glad it's not McLaren as I think their resurgence has been a good thing for the championship (and F1 in general). So I would have hated to see their upsurge be down to something potentially sketchy and a FIA crackdown potentially reversing their recent form.

One team has an adjuster that is completely legal to use in practice sessions but which "might" allow the odd sleight of hand adjustment in Parc Ferme. The team says it isn't accessible once the car is assembled (as it is in Parc Ferme) and the FIA hasn't seen it being used in Parc Ferme (despite having cameras on every car the whole time and observers doing their thing too). Sounds pretty "meh" to me but no doubt there'll be plenty of intrigue and innuendo on display at Austin. |
