Helmut Marko: 'Red Bull to keep using controversial suspension'

Red Bull will reportedly continue to use a controversial suspension concept in 2017.

Red Bull will reportedly continue to use a controversial suspension concept in 2017.

Earlier, it was reported the Mercedes-pioneered, hydraulically-networked system that mimics active suspension had been banned by the FIA, following a letter to the governing body from Ferrari.

La Gazzetta dello Sport had claimed that the FIA ruled out the designs, used in 2016 by Mercedes and Red Bull, on the basis that they were being used for aerodynamic effect.

However, Auto Bild claims that only Ferrari's proposed 2017 version has actually been declared illegal by the FIA,.

Red Bull official Dr Helmut Marko told the publication: "We can't use it 100% (in 2017), but we can still use it."

When asked about the controversy, former F1 designer Gustav Brunner told Speed Week: "I do not believe it will be a big deal in Australia, as by then everyone will probably have such a system on their car."

The 2017 season gets underway in March.
