Red Bull concerned over 'flexible' Ferrari

Red Bull is the first team to express concern surrounding the reports that Ferrari's floor is flexible. Experts pointed out last week that they would want the Ferrari checked if they were a rival to make sure the car was within the limits of the regulations.

Red Bull, who are lagging behind Mercedes and Ferrari, have voiced their awareness over the situation but will wait and see how the FIA react.

"There are very incriminating pictures where not only the floor but also other parts show a lot of flexibility," Red Bull official Helmut Marko said in Bahrain. "We will see how the FIA react," he is quoted by the Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

When the situation was brought to Sebastian Vettel he said: "That's the first time I've heard it. I think when you're at the front there will always be something that people don't like, so it's more like a compliment," the German added.

And Vettel said it is not right to say the wings and floor are the only impressive parts of the new red car: "We were very brave with our layout of the sidepods," he told Bild newspaper in Bahrain. "They look like rabbit ears, just for Easter."

    perhaps RBR is returning the favor on the suspension ruling. Perhaps the red bull floor is not as flexible now but they are moving in that direction with new chassis.
