如果有一件事比咖啡更让一级方程式工程师们喜欢，那就是在规则书中找到一个微小的灰色地带，并直接驾驶一辆赛车赢得锦标赛。但正如米尔顿凯恩斯刚刚学到的，这种乐趣不会永远持续。
根据AutoRacer.it的罗萨里奥·朱利安娜独家报道，国际汽联正式决定关闭红牛车队在本赛季早期引入的一项巧妙空气动力学技巧——这意味着车队将不得不为2027年重新设计。
要了解国际汽联正在打击的是什么，你必须看看下侧箱的几何形状。一般来说，空气动力学专家希望在侧箱车身上有锋利的边缘，以便切割尾流并将气流干净地引导到地板上。但由于国际汽联希望有平滑的曲线而不是锋利的刀片，技术规则强制规定这些表面必须有一个很大的最小半径。
这就是红牛设计团队耍小聪明的地方。正如著名的F1技术分析师克雷格·斯科特兰德（@scarbstech）在英国大奖赛期间在Instagram上分析的那样，红牛利用了关于“地板车身支架”的措辞中的一个微小漏洞。
车队安装了一条沿着侧箱下脊的结构电缆。因为规则允许车身直接靠近那个支撑支架的地方有一个微小的20毫米半径，红牛能够塑造出一个比使用标准车身的竞争对手更尖锐、更具侵略性的提前进站设计。
这个技巧首次出现在奥地利大奖赛的小红牛22赛车上，效果足够好，以至于奥迪在几轮之后的巴库大奖赛明显地复制了这个解决方案。正如一位粉丝在斯卡巴罗的帖子下开玩笑说，'固定的规则为聪明的大脑找到了工作！'
不幸的是，对于红牛和他们的模仿者来说，国际汽联的技术代表并没有让这种情况滑入明年。
AutoRacer.it报道称，国际汽联正在修改2027年的技术规则，将地板支撑尺寸限制到仅为5毫米。通过削减这个公差，规则制定者完全关闭了允许红牛在支撑周围收起激进车身设计的漏洞。
这一变化实际上禁止了这种配置，迫使红牛和奥迪为2027赛季重新设计他们侧箱的整个下部结构。
这是一则经典的F1故事：一支车队发现了一个漏洞，车库里效仿它，国际汽联在下一个更新中修复了这个漏洞。尽管如此，我们还是要尊重这种努力——我们给红牛的空气动力学部门直到季前测试来找到他们的下一个绝招。

FIA could outlaw Red Bull’s clever sidepod loophole ahead of 2027 season
The FIA could be banning Red Bull's clever floor support trick for 2027, shutting down a loophole broken down by Craig Scarborough
For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
If there's one thing Formula 1 engineers love more than coffee, it's finding a tiny gray area in the rulebook and driving a championship-contending race car straight through it. But as Milton Keynes just learned, the fun doesn't last forever.
According to a scoop from Rosario Giuliana at AutoRacer.it, the FIA has officially moved to shut down a clever aerodynamic trick Red Bull Racing introduced earlier this season - meaning the team will have to head back to the drawing board for 2027.
To understand what the FIA is cracking down on, you have to look at the lower sidepod geometry. Generally speaking, aerodynamicists want knife-sharp edges on the sidepod bodywork to cut through the wake and direct airflow cleanly toward the floor. But because the FIA wants smooth curves rather than sharp blades, the technical regulations mandate a large minimum radius for those surfaces.
That’s where Red Bull's design team got cheeky. As well-known F1 technical analyst Craig Scarborough (@scarbstech) broke down on Instagram around the British Grand Prix, Red Bull exploited a tiny carve-out in the wording regarding a "floor body stay".
The team fitted a structural cable running down the lower ridge of the sidepod. Because the regulations permit bodywork sitting directly near that support stay to have a tiny 20mm radius, Red Bull was able to mould a significantly sharper, more aggressive undercut than rivals running standard bodywork.
The trick first showed up on the RB22 at the Austrian Grand Prix, and it worked well enough that Audi blatantly copied the solution in Baku a few rounds later. As one fan joked under Scarborough's post, "Fixed rulesets find work for clever minds!"
Unfortunately for Red Bull and their copycats, the FIA's technical delegates aren't letting it slide into next year.
AutoRacer.it reports that the FIA is amending the 2027 technical regulations to limit the floor support dimension down to just 5mm. By slashing that tolerance, the rulemakers are completely closing the loophole that allowed Red Bull to tuck aggressive bodywork around the stay.
The change effectively bans the configuration, forcing both Red Bull and Audi to redesign the entire lower section of their sidepods for the 2027 season.
It's a classic Formula 1 tale: a team finds a loophole, the paddock mimics it, and the FIA patches the glitch in the next update. Still, we have to respect the hustle - and we give Red Bull's aero department until pre-season testing to find their next party trick.
