Red Bull responds to "noise” about F1 engine trick: "Confident that it's legal"

Red Bull is confident that the compression ratio of its 2026 F1 engine is within the regulations, despite controversy from other manufacturers. Red Bull Powertrains director Ben Hodgkinson dismisses the concerns as 'a lot of noise about nothing'. The crux of the issue is that different manufacturers interpret the regulations differently, with Red Bull arguing they are compliant with checks made at ambient temperature.
