Following intense speculation after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the FIA has concluded its investigation into McLaren’s rear brake system, officially ruling the design legal under current F1 technical regulations.
The inquiry was sparked by murmurs in the paddock suggesting McLaren’s brake ducts might offer more than just cooling—potentially doubling as a clever aero aid. But after a detailed inspection of the components and team data, the FIA confirmed no rule violations occurred.
“All parts examined were found to comply with the technical directives and sporting code,” the FIA stated, effectively shutting down any whispers of wrongdoing.
McLaren welcomed the outcome, with Team Principal Andrea Stella commenting, “We’ve always operated within the framework of the rules, and we’re glad the FIA has validated that. Our innovation is driven by performance and compliance.”
With the investigation behind them, McLaren can now refocus on pushing their development forward as the F1 season heats up.
