After a mid-season rule change was potentially linked to Red Bull on social media, the FIA has confirmed no team was breaking its rules.
The FIA has clarified that no team on the grid has been using a banned braking system, after unfounded rumours linked Red Bull to using one.
“The brake system must be designed so that within each circuit, the forces applied to the brake pads are the same magnitude and act as opposing pairs on a given brake disc,” was the previous wording in the law, before the additional text read: “Any system or mechanism which can produce systematically or intentionally, asymmetric braking torques for a given axle is forbidden.”
Due to the mid-season change in the regulations, this led to speculation about whether the FIA was responding to one or more teams running such a system on their car, with rumours following about whether Red Bull had been running one on the RB20 and subsequently taking it off, with the likes of McLaren and Mercedes catching up to their performance levels from the Miami Grand Prix onwards.
