Marko sounded confident that Verstappen will win this season. I think this Bib height trick was just an accusation, and nothing more.Joel709 wrote: ↑17 Oct 2024, 19:17With the news that the finger is pointing at us in relation to the Bib height trick, we best hope it really isn’t the case as I imagine large elements of our floor design is based around an element like this. Not saying it’s true and it’s been widely denied, but at this point my trust in Red bull isn’t exactly high when it comes to denials in the last 3 years.
It's the way of the sport, but it is very annoying that some biased and uninformed fans end up being super vocal online and they spread toxicity everywhere. It was unpleasant when it was happening to McLaren and it's unpleasant if we have a raft of "attacks" on RedBull now as well.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/arti ... 3yvz7xdgzoRed Bull have confirmed that they have made changes to their car as a result of discussions with governing body the FIA.
Rivals had alerted the FIA to a device in the Red Bull cockpit that they believed could be used to adjust the height of the front of the car's floor.
The concern of rival teams was that this could be used to make changes to the car's set-up between qualifying and races, when they are not allowed.
A Red Bull spokesperson told BBC Sport: "Yes, [the device] exists, although it is inaccessible once the car is fully assembled and ready to run.
"In the numerous correspondence we have with the FIA, this part came up and we have agreed a plan going forward."
Not really, they aren’t leading the constructors and haven’t had the fastest package for some time.
I agree with this but we all know how things will be painted now, sport is very much a trial on social media, so once again should Max win, it will be the usual calls of illegal engineering and so onEmag wrote: ↑17 Oct 2024, 20:58It's the way of the sport, but it is very annoying that some biased and uninformed fans end up being super vocal online and they spread toxicity everywhere.

There are no angels in F1, especially at the front of the grid. Nobody cares about the spirit of the rules, everyone is trying to make the cars as fast as possible and they will go to any lengths if they can get away with it.
And of course, hypocrisy is not something the team's fear in F1. We have had so many "feuds" between teams over the years and more often than not, none of the parties involved were 100% clean.
What matters is that they catch these things and don't allow them to run for long. For McLaren, the rear wing was only run for 3 races before they were forced to remove it, but who knows for how long RedBull has been using this "device" or its benefits. Not a good look on FIA to have multiples teams slip through the rules like this within the same season.
Indeed, the only grey area is not if it is wrong, but it if was utilised.
Redbull and the fia are still claiming it has not been used to break parc ferme rules, only that it exists, it’s available to all the cars as it’s a public part.
