Toto Wolff insists the FIA may look further into the controversy over Red Bull’s “outrageous” b🐎ib 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 device within the Red Bull that allowed its ride height 🧸to be adjusted while in parc ferme conditions, which is no𒁏t legal.

There is no evidence to suggest that Red Bull broke any rule, and they dismissed their rivals’ worries as “paran🍎oia”.

But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes boss Wolff was quoted by&⛄nbsp;: "My view is, from the distance of what I've seen and what I've heard, it's outra𒉰geous."

Wolff explained why he was suspicious.

"I think we're all designing parജts 🌸that are F1 standard, and that are to the highest specifications that are within the regulations,” 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 th𓄧ey exist.

Why would you design suc🔜h a thing and put two marks on it for two positions? Is that the precise decision-making in F1?"

Red Bull demonstrated why the device complied with regulations to 𓆉FIA 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 ꩵhow long it took them to make this up, and to stick it in there."

The FIA insisted that the matter was closed🐬 after finding no indication that Red Bull had broken any rule.

But Wolff wonders if the 🍃controversy may be reopened.

He said: “I think the leader𓂃ship of the FIA is going to look at that and say, 'What are we doing with 🐠this?'"

F1 retur꧟ns swif🤪tly this weekend at the Mexico Grand Prix.

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