Following the Spanish Grand Prix, the FIA conducted a detailed examination of Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari to verify compliance with technical regulations governing rear braking systems. Of particular concern was the potential for any mechanism that could enable asymmetric braking, a tactic previously exploited by teams to gain performance advantages.

Why the Check Was Conducted

  • The FIA randomly selects a car finishing in the top 10 for in-depth scrutineering, beyond standard post-race checks

  • With an increased emphasis on braking systems—especially after McLaren’s rear brake design was scrutinized following Miami—the FIA intensified checks at the Spanish venue to ensure full compliance

What the Inspection Entailed

  • FIA technical delegates examined the rear brake assembly, including drums, ducts, bodywork, and associated mechanisms.

  • Inspectors focused on any components that might enable intentionally asymmetric braking torques on a single axle—now explicitly prohibited in technical regulations

  • They also checked for compliance with rules banning liquid-based brake cooling and ensuring only airflow generated by the car’s motion is used

Outcome of the Inspection

  • The FIA confirmed that everything was in full compliance with technical regulations and no irregularities were found

  • Leclerc’s Ferrari, including its entire rear braking system, was officially cleared with no concerns or penalties.

Context and Significance

  • FIA rule updates in 2024 explicitly banned asymmetric braking systems, a preventive measure prompted by past cases dating back to the 1990s and recent suspicions around modern teams

  • Similar inspections were conducted recently on McLaren after the Miami Grand Prix, where their rear brakes were also declared legal following scrutiny


Final Word

The thorough inspection of Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari after the Spanish Grand Prix confirms that its rear brake system is fully within FIA regulations. With an increased regulatory focus on eliminating performance through asymmetric braking, this clean result underscores FIA’s commitment to fair competition and transparency.
