'Red Bull Car Illegal?'

Like the other teams, I'd really like to know how they do it.
Watching the RBR car, it rubs the plank in practice, in qualifying, in the race, almost irrespective of fuel load...
 
But Wombat, surely you agree: If anyone can make it work within the rules it has to be Adrian Newey..

:d

Exactly my thoughts Ferry.
The 'Muppets' are all that other lot who are complaining.:173go1:
I could care less if it's legal or not, a 'mechanical' solution beats an 'aero' tweak anytime for me.:applause:
 
One of the options suggested is a 'ratchet' build into the suspension. The team set up the car for the race (Which needs to be done before qualifying), let the FIA inspect it with the amount of fuel in it required to finish the race. Once they take the fuel out for qualifying the ratchet keeps the ride height where it was with a full fuel load. So no mechanically or manually adjusting ride height after qualifying or during the race, which would obviously be illegal.
All speculation though!
