Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff claimed he found Red Bull's use of a front bib device "outrageous" and allied with McLaren CEO Zak Brown in speaking against the issue. Ahead of the US Grand Prix weekend, the Austrian F1 team was found to be using a front bib device that could adjust the car's ride height in between sessions.
Although the FIA did not disclose any names initially, Red Bull later acknowledged having the device but revealed that they had not used it when the car was assembled. McLaren CEO Zak Brown had urged the sport's governing body to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Speaking with PlanetF1, the Mercedes team boss mentioned that he was not even aware of such a device and said:
“My view is from the distance of what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard, it’s outrageous. I really liked that when they put this real broom in the car to demonstrate how that’s the only way of that getting changed," Wolff said.
