F1 scandal unveiled: Red Bull's outrage as McLaren supposedly benefits from changes

Formula -1 chaos: Verstappen blasts FIA so that the rivals can “benefit”

In a whirlwind of controversy and accusations in the Formula -1 World, Jos Verstappen, father of the Red Bull racing driver Max Verstappen, started a devastating attack on the FIA ​​to enable rival teams benefit from unfair advantages.

Verstappen expressed his frustration about the inactivity of the FIA ​​in relation to flexible front wings, with McLaren achieving another impressive 1: 2 finish in Miami. The Red Bull team increased the suspicion of McLaren's car and not only questioned the front and rear wings, but also the tires.

The limelight was particularly on McLaren's tire management with allegations to cool water during pit stops to cool the tires. Zak Brown, CEO von McLaren, returned by challenging the unnamed team, probably Red Bull, officially protesting the MCL39 if they believe that a foul is involved.

In the middle of the tire controversy, Red Bull also threw doubts about the flexibility of McLaren's wings at the front and back. While the FIA ​​took measures against the flexibility of the rear wing at the beginning of the 2025 season, stricter tests for the front wing only come into force at the Spanish Grand Prix, which leaves space for potential exploitation by competing teams.

Jos Verstappen expressed his dismay about the time of the rules of the rules and asked why the FIA ​​teams could benefit from certain design elements before implementing restrictions. The Red Bull Camp is understandably concerned about the potential effects on the championship before the new guidelines become effective.

In response to the turmoil, the FIA ​​announced the further gradual front wings tests from the Spanish Grand Prix to ensure fairness and competitiveness between all teams. However, the director of Red Bull, Christian Horner, expects the impending clamp on the flexibility of wing and affects all teams to different degrees.

While the Formula -1 saga unfolds, the impending changes in the technical regulations promise to shake the current hierarchy and participate in the field, which triggered the anticipation and uncertainty between teams and fans alike.
