Lewis Hamilton recently gave his opinion on Red Bull's new parc ferme trick to alter the front bib on their RB20. The seven-time world champion also touched on the topic of constant innovation that F1 teams strive towards, something that the Austrian team has done.
According to Motorsport.com, the FIA banned the bib alterations on the eve of the 2024 F1 US GP. The bib is essentially a T-ray underneath the front wing, behind the front axle. If this part is altered, it changes the ride height of the car, which should not be modified. Hence, the governing body made the changes in the technical regulations ahead of the race in Austin.
It was later known that Red Bull was the team that was altering the front bib between race sessions to get an advantage in races. Ahead of the US GP, drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, were asked for their opinions on the matter.
