Has Red Bull been illegally adjusting the floor of its Formula 1 car between qualifying and the race, or is this latest controversy more about McLaren trying to destabilise its main rival at a crucial stage of the season?
F1 wouldn’t be F1 without a healthy dose of ultra-competitive teams sniping at each other over suspected illegalities on their cars.
McLaren has been forced onto the defensive in this regard recently, as Red Bull led pushback against the clever flexible front and rear wings that it believes have been key to McLaren’s competitive advantage.
But now it’s Red Bull that’s back under the technical microscope, as McLaren wants the FIA to thoroughly investigate whether Red Bull has been adjusting the height of its floor under what are known as parc ferme regulations - a crucial period between qualifying and the race during which F1 cars are not allowed to be altered for performance reasons.
