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

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

A number of rival teams raise🐈d concerns that Red Bull are able to adjust the ride height of their car at the front under parc ferme conditions, which would contravene F1’s rules, while giving a performance advantage.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner 🍸has insisted Red Bull are in the clear, stating the FIA are “happy with it”.

Tombazis, who is head of single-seaters for the FIA, offered insight in🥃to the situation on Friday.

He told Sky Sports: “At the previous race, it was pointed o🐟ut to us that certain designs 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 possibi𝕴lity of doing such a thing at all. So if a team had a design that would allow a quick change of that height, it would have to be sealed so they coul🀅d not have access in parc ferme.

“All teams have adhered to that an🔜d, as far as we are concerned, that is under control.

“It is certainl♓y not a story from now on. I think we have done all that is needed to stop ther🅠e being any accusations."

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

"It is a tight championship and people get excited about each others' cars,” he add❀ed.

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