In a shocking turn of events, McLaren’s Formula 1 wheel assembly and brake system underwent a thorough inspection by the FIA following the Miami Grand Prix. The inspection, which was triggered by suspicions from rival teams, aimed to ensure McLaren’s compliance with F1 regulations.

Rumors swirled that McLaren had discovered a unique method to enhance brake cooling, subsequently improving their tire temperature management. Red Bull even obtained thermal images from pitstops at the Japanese GP, suggesting McLaren’s brake drums were operating at lower temperatures than their competitors.

Despite previous clearances by the FIA, a detailed post-Miami examination was conducted to dispel any doubts. The inspection, part of routine checks on selected cars after each race, specifically scrutinized McLaren’s wheel assemblies, including the braking system, drums, and wheels.

Following the inspection, the FIA confirmed that all components of McLaren’s MCL39 were in full compliance with the 2025 Formula 1 technical regulations. Notably, the examination focused on ensuring adherence to regulations prohibiting the use of liquids for brake cooling and the manipulation of tire temperatures through unauthorized means.

Moreover, the FIA reiterated its stance against teams employing unconventional technologies to artificially control brake or tire temperatures. The regulations strictly mandate that only airflow generated by the car’s movement can be used for cooling purposes, prohibiting the use of any other methods or devices.

In a parallel inspection, Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari was also scrutinized for compliance with rules governing the steering wheel assembly, clutch operating device, and electronic regulations, with the team receiving a clean bill of health.

The FIA’s rigorous scrutiny and subsequent clearance of both McLaren and Ferrari underscore the commitment to upholding the integrity and fairness of Formula 1 competition. With speculations put to rest and regulations strictly enforced, the focus now shifts back to the thrilling on-track action as teams prepare for the upcoming Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.
