FIA chief Nikolas Tombazis has labelled Red Bull’s controversial adjustable ride height device as a “non-story” with the ꩲ“present situation” now “under control”.

The talk of the paddock in Austin has been a✱round a device on the Red Bull car.

A number of rival teams raised concerns that Red Bull are able to adjusꦍt the ride height of their car at the front under parc ferme conditions, whi🌌ch would contravene F1’s rules, while giving a performance advantage.

Red Bull boss Christia🙈n Horner has insisted Red Bull ar🍌e in the clear, stating the FIA are “happy with it”.

Tombazis, who is head oജf single-seaters for the FIA, o♈ffered insight into the situation on Friday.

He told Sky Sports: “At the previous race, it was pointed out to us tඣhat certain ꩲdesigns could allow a change of the height at the front of the car, which some people call a bib, in parc ferme.

"We did not have any indication or any proof that꧂ anybody was doing something like that - that would clearly be illegal under parc ferme regulations. So we said that from this race onwards, there must be no possibility of doing such a thing at all. So if a team had a design that would allow a ဣquick change of that height, it would have to be sealed so they could not have access in parc ferme.

🌌“All teams have adhered to that and, as far as we are concerned, that is under control.

“It is certainly not a story from now on. I think we have done all that is needed to stop there꧟ being any accusations."

Tombazis declared the current situation as a “non-story” and that given it𒐪’s a tight championship battle, accusations like this aren’t surprising.

"It is a tight championship and people get excited about eac﷽h oth🌃ers' cars,” he added.

“So we cannot definitively close the previous races or an🐟y insinuations there may be between teams in a very competitive environment, but in the present situation we believe it is a non-story, yes."
