Vasser spoke about the FIA directive on the use of protective plates.
Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the FIA issued a new technical directive restricting teams from using skid plates to reduce wear on the underbody strip. As reported, the FIA responded to a complaint filed by Red Bull after the stage in Brazil.
The head of Ferrari confirmed that they had to make adjustments to the design of the underbody strip after this directive.
Yes, we had to change the design. At the same time, we previously received confirmation from the FIA that this plate design is legal.
I think we did the right thing in not challenging the FIA`s decision, because I want us to be focused on fighting in the championship and not be distracted by such discussions. But yes, the directive is strange, ” Wasser said.
