Red Bull could have breached rules, but device case closed: FIA

AUSTIN - Formula One's governing body on Oct 19 ruled out a deeper investigation of Red Bull's ride-height device, while recognising it could not be sure there had been any breach of the rules in the past.

The device, whose presence on the cars driven by world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez was confirmed by the team, has been a hot topic at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Red Bull have agreed to changes after discussions with the International Automobile Federation (FIA), with the device likely to have seals attached to it, but championship rivals McLaren have said there are questions still to be answered.

The FIA's single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis told reporters the governing body did not have the ability to investigate potentially two years' worth of evidence and considered the matter dealt with.
