Por ejemplo... Red Bull's interpretation of the engine mapping to gain an advantage and blow the diffuser with the exhaust overrun, is a clever interpretation of the rules, not cheating, consequently the rules were clarified.

In the case of Red Bull adjusting the ride height while the car was in parc ferme because they could adjust the ride height without tools while no one was looking... (or not looking because since they were not using tools they couldn't possibly be adjusting the ride height because the rules say you needed a tool to do that)... That would be cheating.

Who's to say they don't have a clever interpretation of what constitutes parc ferme or what is allowed to be done in parc ferme.

the rules for that are pretty clear, the ride height adjustment has to be done with a tool. The reason to have that rule is to prevent someone from clandestinely adjusting it by hand, like the Red Bull mechanism can allow for. But since Horner said they would never do that... it's impossible they actually did adjust it. That would be cheating. No one has accused them of it, the FIA is just making sure they can't adjust it by hand any longer.

Now let's leave Red Bull alone that the rules have been clarified. :wink:
