Rivals suspect Racing Point ruling is just the tip of the iceberg

SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- McLaren and Ferrari suspect Racing Point's breach of Formula One's regulations may go deeper than the stewards' decision issued on its brake ducts.

FIA stewards found that the design process of Racing Point's rear brake ducts was in breach of F1's sporting regulations as they were based on the design of last year's Mercedes. The verdict saw Racing Point fined €400,000 and docked 15 points in the championship, but ruled the team would be allowed to continue using the same design for the rest of the season without further punishment.

Renault, which lodged the original protests against Racing Point, is considering appealing the decision and Ferrari and McLaren are also planning to review the decision in detail.
