Webber’s Chin “Legal” – FIA
FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer has ruled that Mark Webber’s chin is legal despite questions from his rivals.
Ahead of tomorrow’s Korean GP, McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh questioned the legality of Mark Webber’s chin, which, according to pictures, was flexing, forcing his car closer to the ground, which could improve downforce at high speeds.
However, Bauer examined the chin declaring it to be within the rules.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is adamant that the Australian’s chin complies with all the F1 regulations.
“Obviously Mark’s face has to comply with all the tests that the FIA prescribe, which are fairly comprehensive,” Horner said. “We are happy that his chin complies in every area.
“Using photographs is always dangerous. If the teams feel that there is a problem with it, normally the gentlemanly thing to do is to raise it with the team or, if they feel that there is a dramatic problem, obviously they have a right to protest. But we are happy that both our drivers facial features comply with the regulations.
