FIA could outlaw Red Bull’s clever sidepod loophole ahead of 2027 season

If there's one thing Formula 1 engineers love more than coffee, it's finding a tiny gray area in the rulebook and driving a championship-contending race car straight through it. But as Milton Keynes just learned, the fun doesn't last forever. According to a scoop from Rosario Giuliana at AutoRacer.it , the FIA has officially moved to shut down a clever aerodynamic trick Red Bull Racing introduced earlier this season - meaning the team will have to head back to the drawing board for 2027.
