Red Bull suspects McLaren of new illegal trick - report

Red Bull has accused McLaren of using a new illegal trick to gain an advantage in Formula 1, according to a report.

The German magazine Auto Motor und Sport claims that Red Bull believes McLaren is using a flexible front wing to improve its car's performance.

A flexible front wing would allow McLaren to generate more downforce without increasing drag, giving it a significant advantage on the straights.

Red Bull has reportedly lodged a protest with the FIA, but the governing body has yet to take any action.

McLaren has not yet responded to the allegations.

If Red Bull's suspicions are true, it would be a major blow to McLaren's hopes of challenging for the championship this season.

The team has already been hit by a number of technical problems this year, and a further penalty would only make its task more difficult.

The FIA is expected to investigate Red Bull's protest and make a decision in the coming days.

If McLaren is found to have used an illegal front wing, it could face a number of penalties, including a fine, a points deduction, or even a ban from the championship.

Red Bull's suspicions come at a time when the team is under intense pressure to improve its performance.

The team has not won a race since last year's British Grand Prix, and is currently third in the championship standings behind Mercedes and Ferrari.

If Red Bull is able to prove that McLaren is cheating, it could give the team a major boost in its quest to win the championship.

However, if the allegations are unfounded, it could further damage Red Bull's reputation and relationship with McLaren.
