😲 F1 2024's brake cheat misunderstanding

Has a recent F1 rule tweak exposed that somebody was cheating earlier in 2024?

if Zac Brown isn't openly calling RB cheats, this is likely a nontroversy.

Also, with the clarification is taking effect just now, it can't retroactively mean that RB has suffered from it. Why would they stop using a clever trick months in advance?!

[jonathaneasen]

The teams will also request clarification from the FIA whether an idea they have is legal… this is most likely the case as the FIA have said no one is using this… not everything has to be a drama!

If Red Bull was implementing asymmetric braking, they wouldn’t be struggling in tracks like Monaco and Singapore.

I assume that a team probably came up to the FIA ahead of the 2026 update and was like "So about the wording of this" and the FIA was like we'll make it clearer"

[diheinsilva]

The FIA is like a strict parent saying no to everything

[garythefishable]

People were just looking for an excuse to hate on Red Bull in my opinion. Hopefully this puts an end to this nonsense.

Just multiple teams catching red bull by 5-8 tenths in a few races is “normal” to some people.

[baronvandedem]

Just like last time when Toto wanted the FIA to raise the floor with a couple of millimeters, I bet this isn’t going to hurt Red Bull at all. I see them getting their lead back again.

[hypnotico]

I don't get it. That sounds cool as hell why would it be banned?

[rokkitman]

Actually we dont know how long this ‘feature’ has been on the RedBull cars!! But they didnt break a rule cause specifically that one little item is not regulated…til now.

I think this is representative of the clamping down on innovation in F1. Too much regulation and not enough room for creativity and thinking outside of the box…

The ‘follow the leader’ syndrome in F1 is going to be its demise…stop with the Spec series direction that Liberty and the FIA are moving towards….

Although Spec Series do end up providing some incredible racing…IROC, RedBull KTM cup, etc…

[ederm]

Why do they keep on banning methods to be faster? that is what F1 is supposed to be about!

[rokkitman]

It is an ingenious solution to rotating the car but as usual the FIA will outlaw such a brilliant idea….

[andrew_unkillabe]

Welll I think in Hungary max said he can't get any break pressure sooo

[RobertJones-pmzk]

I know the FIA has never done anything to favor certain team and driver.

[DHLMEDIA]

Sounds like a solid idea, just let them do it

[EM_Karting]

Even if no team was using it, it should be allowed, what a great idea 👍

[dgrblue]

Didn't Ferrari do this in the 90s? And McLaren have the third pedal for inside wheel braking?

[TADPLE]

Seeing the mickey mouse 2026 car being called an F1 car is a joke.

[hueyfreeman]

If the "cheated" then Merc cheated with DAS, McLaren's F Duct, Brawn's double defuser etc

[t.m.a]

Why thr fuck FIA banned this type of invention 🤦🏻🤦🏻
