Reportedly, McLaren's engineering director Paddy Lowe spotted something on the Barcelona grid that he suspected did not conform to the rules with regards to the "infinite precision" principle. Red Bull was asked by FIA officials in Monaco to modify the design, but subsequently dominated the famous street event.

"We had to run a version without those [diffuser] wings and found that it was even better than before," said Horner.

You have to appreciate the irony of the situation, McLaren staff working hand in hand with the Red Bull aero department... it's a scandal!

Maybe McLaren are paving their way to displace Toro Rosso as the Red Bull B-team?

Maybee its more of Horners BS

It's a bit sad actually Redbull couldn't figure it out to begin with!

"infinite precision" principle.

what is that?

what is that?

Did I write that?

No, you typed it.

[Jabberwocky]

what does it mean?

[madbrad]

Well now Red Bull is guilty of stealing McLaren's design.

Refers to the wording of the technical regulations that allow for double diffusers instead of calling it a hole in the floor you call it a gap made to infinite precision on infinite planes so what you end up with is a hole lol.

i think so too. i bet its Horner messing up with Mclaren's head. Besides, maybe it was better at Monaco but not the other circuits.

So a gap of infinite precision on infinite planes is a HOLE?
Gotta update the dictionary!

well at the end of the day horners tried it on with Mclaren a few times especialy with the F-Duct just stirring up crap.

Thats fine Mclaren can play at that game too.

Red Bull are a quick car

I just dug a gap made to infinite precision on infinite planes in my backyard. Soon it will accomodate a precision post.
