Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur insists the FIA can be trusted to solve the Red Bull ‘bib’ controversy.

Red Bull admitted the presence of a device🌳 in the cockpit of the RB20 which could change the height of the ‘bib’.

F1 forbids significant changes to cars bet﷽ween qualifying and the grand prix, and Red Bull have den꧟ied breaking any rule.

Red Bull agreed to make changes after discussing it with the FIA but that hasn’t satisfied McLaren CEO Zak Bro🌌wn who has vented h𝕴is frustration at the issue.

Now Ferrari team principal Vasseur has weig꧑hed in on🅺 the debate which has engulfed this weekend’s F1 United States Grand Prix.

“If RB really modified the car in parc ferme it would be more than cheating, it would be a huge 🐷thing,” Vasseur told 💙;.

“Bu💛t I don't know the details, the FIA will do itওs job.”

Although McLaren have made theirꦗ annoyance clear at this latest technical controversy, Ferrari have reminded them that they were also at the centre of a dispute.

McLaren mad꧂e changes to their rear wing after ♏talks with the FIA, after Oscar Piastri edged Charles Leclerc in Azerbaijan.

“The McLaren wing in Baku was not legal for me,” Va✅sseur state🧜d.

Video footage of the McLa🔴ren rear wing at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix prompted quest🅷ions.

It was labelled ‘mini DRS’ for its ability to rotate and open ꦫthe slot gap.

McLaren did not break any FIA rule but sp🦄oke to the FIA about how to avoid further issues, including this weekend in Texas, with their rear wings.

But clear🌜ly the Ferrari boss has not forgotten after missing out on a grand prix ꦰwin via Leclerc.

McLaren lead the constructors’ championship ahead of Re꧃d Bull and Ferrari.
