Footage of FIA officials inspecting Red Bull’s controversial front bib ride height adjuster part of a wider series of spot checks on similar uncontentious devices used at other F1 teams
The FIA is inspecting front bib adjusters on various Formula 1 cars at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, following the suspicions that Red Bull may have been using the device in parc ferme. The saga has captivated the F1 paddock at Austin, after Red Bull admitted it had such a device at the centre of the controversy that followed the revelation by Motorsport.com that the FIA had moved to clampdown on such parts following the Singapore GP last month.
Tombazis added the FIA would not try to examine previous activities to check on compliance “We are talking about a couple of millimeters or something ,” he said. “We're really talking very, very small numbers. I don't think it's something that we could go and check. “But, as I say, we don't have any indication or proof or anything like that about something untoward having happened before.
