Helmut Marko has denied suggestions Red Bull approached the FIA to inspect F1 rival Mercedes’ new front wing design.

Mercedes have enjoyed an upswing in performance since introducing an upgraded front wing in Monaco, and produced their strongest weekend of th🔯e season so far at the Canadian Grand Prix last time out.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell claimed both Mercedes’ first pole position and podium of the year as he finished third, one place ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, who scored his best result of 2024 in fourth.

German outlet Auto Motor u🐓nd Sport have claimed that R🐠ed Bull are growing suspicious of the front wings used by their rivals amid talk of a fresh flexi-wing saga brewing in F1.

Asked if🦋 there was any truth to claims that Red Bull went as fꩵar to ask the FIA to look at Mercedes’ new design, Marko told Austrian publication OE24: “You can’t say that.

“They have a new front ♔wing, and on the TV pictures from Montreal you can cl🔴early see that Russell and Hamilton’s wings are bending noticeably.

“However,🐬 the w😼ings had the necessary strength when they were approved. That doesn’t surprise me.

“I don’t know how often we had to check our win𓃲gs. There is a pre𒆙cisely defined procedure with weights under which a wing must not bend.

“It is a popular game of pushing everything to the limit so that it passes the technical inspection.ဣ During the race, the wing then lowers, which ensures better aerodynamics.”

Marko revealed F1 teams will be subjected 𓃲to fresh FIA checks ahead of the upcoming Spanish and Austrian Grands Prix.

“It has come up again and ♈again when the deformation was clearly visible in the televisi🧸on images,” the 81-year-old Austrian added.

“Everything was OK in Montreal. There is a new inspection for Barcelona and Spielberg etc., and✱ it has to be OK again. Of course, the competition is looking at that criti♓cally, not just us.”
