Mercedes felt from audio analysis of the Renault engine that Red Bull were cutting more than the four cylinders allowed by the rules.
This could give an advantage in a number of areas: in fuel economy so the car can start the race lighter, gaining a performance advantage; as a form of traction control; in controlling the exhaust flow to influential aerodynamic parts at the rear of the car; and in controlling engine temperature.
But the FIA has looked at the data it has on how the Renault engine works and concluded that it is within the rules.
