Hard to judge I think. An easy way to adjust the t-tray has the legit benefit of saving valuable time on setup changes during practice..... and could be abused as suggested.

It's all in the autosport article. They're cracking down on a system that was possibly used which allowed the modification of the t-tray ride height in parc fermé between quali and race. It's suggested by the article that 1 team (unnamed) has been using such a system

Finally back after my ban chums 8)

Well I wonder who's been cheating then, I've seen some speculation saying Williams, they've been better since their upgrades - was their another element to this performance :wink:

It will be good to see how Ferrari do in high speed and how the Mercedes upgrade (downgrade???) goes :)

"Red Bull accused of ride height trick by other teams; motorsport federation FIA intervenes."

'Such an adjustment is not allowed and suspicions about Red Bull, from certain teams, emerged in several technical meetings. Red Bull denies and points out that such designs of systems are all uploaded to a server of the motorsport federation, to which all teams have access.'

"No evidence yet, however, says the FIA ​."
