- Governing body intervened in attempt to stop cars bouncing
- Mercedes and Red Bull at loggerheads over severity of issue
The FIA will meet teams this week in an attempt to defuse the controversy caused by their intervention in the regulations that overshadowed the Canadian Grand Prix. F1’s governing body had attempted to address the problems with cars bouncing on track this season, amid fears for drivers’ safety, but their efforts only caused friction across the paddock.
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, said the FIA had to act given their responsibility for driver safety but his Red Bull counterpart, Christian Horner, has accused Mercedes of having designed a car that exacerbated the bouncing issue and that they should fix it rather than expect a regulation change.
