Read our privacy policy Red Bull and Ferrari have claimed that the car design used by rivals McLaren and Mercedes may be giving them an illegal advantage due to the flexibility of the front wings. In light of recent results, Red Bull senior advisor Helmut Marko has gone as far as calling on the FIA to take a look at their opponents’ cars, telling Austrian media that “the front wing of McLaren and Mercedes must be analysed”. Team principal Christian Horner said that the McLaren front wing is “very different to the rest of the grid” after Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix. Horner implied that that his team will likely their front wing if the changes are deemed legal by the FIA, saying: “Well, if it’s acceptable, then you have to join it.” Red Bull are winless since Max Verstappen beat Norris at the Spanish GP in late June, with McLaren and Mercedes having won five of six races since then.
