Toto Wolff insists t♊he FIA may look further into the c💜ontroversy over Red Bull’s “outrageous” bib device.

Red Bull made changed to their RB20 ahead of the F1 United States 💯Grand Prix after talks with the FIA.

Rivals - notably, McLaren - expressed concern over a de𓆉vice within the Red Bull that allowed its ride height to be adjusted 🎃while in parc ferme conditions, which is not legal.

There is no evidence to suggest that Red Bull broke any rule, and they𒉰 dismissed their rivals’ worries as “paranoia”.

But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes boss Wolff was quoted by : "My view is, from the di🅠stance of what I've seen and what I've heard, it's outrageous."

Wolff explained why he was suspicious.

"I think we're all designing parts that are F1 standard, and that are to th𒁏e highest specifications that are within the regulations,”ꦉ he said.

"Sometimes on things like aero elasticity, you would probably try to go as far as you can — but there's 🐟other things overall and certain parts where you would question why they exist.

Why woul💝d you design such a thing and put two marks on it for two positions? Is that the precise decision-making in F1?"

Red Bull demonstrated why t🧸he device complied with regulations to FIA officials in full view of television cameras in Texas.

Wolff mocked their efforts: "I really like that when they put this real broom🥃 in the car to demonstrate that that is the only way of that getting changed!

“I wonder how long it took them to make this up, and to stick i🌳t in there."

Tꩵhe FIA insisted that the matter was closed a🍸fter finding no indication that Red Bull had broken any rule.

But Wolff wonders if the controvꦦersy may be reopened.

He said: “I✤ think the leadership of the FIA is going to look at that and say, 'What are we doing with t🍬his?'"

F1 returns swiftly𒁃 this weekend at the Mexic🐓o Grand Prix.

Last weekend, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen ended his lead 🍷at the top of the drivers’ championship to 54𝔍 points ahead of Lando Norris.

Verstappen and Norris’ clash also courted controversy after the stewards hit the McLaren driver with a🤪 five-second time penalty.
