McLaren have been cleared of illegally using liquid to cool their tyres following FIA checks after the Miami Grand Prix.
The Woking squad’s dominant start to the 2025 season appeared to raise suspicion among some of their rivals that they have been employing techniques outside of the rules to keep their tyres in an ideal operating window during races.
McLaren Racing chief executive Zak Brown even brought a bottle with ‘tire water’ written on it to the pit wall in Miami, making light of rivals’ suspicions.
Ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the FIA released a technical delegate’s report from the previous race, that took place in Miami on May 4, which stated Drivers’ Championship leader Oscar Piastri’s McLaren had been randomly chosen for post-race checks.
The document said: “After the race in Miami car number 81 was randomly chosen among the top ten cars for more
extensive physical inspections.
“Subject to these physical inspections were the wheel bodywork assemblies. The following checks were carried out on all corners: The compliance of all components with TR Article 3.13. Physical checks for compliance with TR Article 11.5 on all four corners.
“All inspected components were found to be in conformance with the 2025 Formula One Technical Regulations.”
Highlights of the Miami Grand Prix
Article 3.13 refers to wheel bodywork, while article 11.5 states that liquid cooling of brakes is forbidden.
The document stated that Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari was also found to be compliant having been checked for elements including steering wheel assembly and the clutch operating device.

Ele fora assinado pelo próprio presidente da CBF, por Rogério Caboclo (ex-mandatário afastado pelo comitê de ética da entidade em 2021), Nunes, Sarney, Castellar Neto, Gustavo Feijó e pela Federação Mineira de Futebol.

Ao longo destes anos, todos questionaram a legitimidade do MP-RJ para atuar na entidade.
