SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says he has no doubt that Mercedes' novel sidepod design complies with F1's regulations.
Questions about the legality of Mercedes' latest update were raised on the opening day of this week's preseason test in Bahrain when Horner was quoted by German publication Auto Motor und Sport saying the upgrade had "gone a step too far" and was did "not correspond to the spirit of the regulations".
However, Red Bull issued a statement soon after the story emerged saying the quotes were "incorrect".
On Friday, Horner set the record straight during an open press conference by saying his team believes the Mercedes is legal.
