Lando Norris takes aim at Red Bull over FIA cheating accusations

McLaren F1 star Lando Norris has taken aim at rival teams for ‘nonsense’ allegations after Red Bull reportedly alerted the FIA over concerns about the papaya team’s tyres.

Red Bull reportedly suspected McLaren of cheating using illegal tyre and brake cooling tricks such as injecting water into the tyres to keep temperatures lower, but the FIA found no such evidence to support this.

Following the Miami GP, the FIA selected race-winner Oscar Piastri’s car among the top ten race finishers for detailed inspections, but investigations into McLaren’s wheel bodywork and compliance with technical regulations all came back clean, clearing the papaya team of any alleged wrongdoing.

Norris then continued, hinting that Red Bull were among those of McLaren’s rivals to attempt to bring them down at any opportunity given their lead in the constructors’ standings so far this year.
