A report claims that the FIA has not found any evidence to corroborate Red Bull's complaints about McLaren using an alleged cooling trick during the Brazilian GP. The Austrian team had accused its championship rival, along with several other teams, of adding water to get extra moisture into the tire and the wheel rims to help deal with overheating.

The McLaren cars' performances have been exemplary when it comes to tire wear in the 2024 season, with the MCL38 tending to show its true performance in the later stages of a tire's life. It is one of the key reasons that the British team have surpassed expectations and currently sits at the top of the constructor standings with three races to go.

Red Bull claimed that some teams were using the cooling trick, with the Austrian team having employed similar methods before they were outlawed by technical directives a few years ago, thus being aware of its advantages.
