Ferrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur has expressed frustration at a new FIA techni𒁏cal directive which was issued on the eve of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Ahead of this weekend’s race, F1’s governing body the FIA issued a new technical diꦡrective clarifying the way in which skid blocks can be attached to the floor of cars in a bid to prevent teams from potentially exploiting a grey are in the regulations.

The clarification was expected to come for 2025 but it is understood that Red Bull pushed for cꦛhanges sooner to tackle potential ambiguity which existed in the previous technical directive.

Ferrari boss Vasseur confirmed his team have had to make modifications to the fl♛oor of their car, but stressed the FIA had determined their plank to be legal.

“Yes, we had to make a change, but we had also the confirmation before this that the plank🔯 was legal, from the FIA,”ꦓ Vasseur said.

“I think it was the right attitude for us not to fight because that I want to st🙈ay focused on the on the championship and not on this kind of discussion. But the approach was 🔯strange.”

Mercedes and Alpine also confirmed they have tweaked the configuration of their cars in respons💧e to the technical directive.

Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes admit𒐪ted his side have “had to make a little change”, whi🦹le Toto Wolff said Mercedes “had to change the way we run the floor as well”.

Red Bull have also been impacted by the ruling despite suppo♏rting the changes.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown confirmed to Sky S𝐆ports F1 that the T💜D had not impacted his team.
