Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has clarified yet again that the front wings on its cars are legal.
His statement comes in the light of the dispute raised by other teams claiming that the flexibility that wing produces is beyond the stipulated regulations.
McLaren’s engineering director, Paddy Lowe had recently given his opinions on the wings when he said,”I've seen a lot of pictures on that situation. We believe, and we're not alone, that two cars - Ferrari and Red Bull - have wings existing at a much lower position than we're able to deliver.”
“It may be entirely legitimate, it may not be. We don’t understand it,” he added.
The matter was taken up by the FIA and was passed by the governing body.
“Photos are very dangerous, you don’t know things such as how much fuel the car is running, but the wing has passed the FIA tests,” Horner reminded when speaking to BBC Sport.
“The front wing is behaving in a way which the guys have been able to design and it complies with the regulations. But it’s not just one thing - all of these things work in tandem and we’re a bit surprised about the talk,” the team principal added.
Red Bull topped both the practice sessions for the Hungarian Grand Prix as Sebastian Vettel led both the time sheets. His teammate Mark Webber was placed second and third in the two outings.
