The FIA will meet teams this week in an attempt to defuse the controversy caused by their intervention in the regulations that overshadowed the Canadian Grand Prix. F1’s governing body had attempted to address the problems with cars bouncing on track this season, amid fears for drivers’ safety, but their efforts simply caused friction across the paddock.
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, said the FIA had to act given its responsibility for driver safety but his Red Bull counterpart, Christian Horner, has accused Mercedes of having designed a car that exacerbated the bouncing issue and that they should fix it rather than expect a regulation change.
