The FIA has told the teams that they must adhere to Pirelli’s recommended camber limit for the Italian GP after a meeting with the tyre supplier on Friday evening.
The mandatory limit came about after a few teams, in particular Red Bull, exceeded the recommended limit in Belgium which led to severe blistering on the inside shoulder.
A statement released by the FIA prior to third free practice revealed that all cars will be checked after qualifying to ensure they meet the 3.25 degree limit – which has been reduced since Friday from 3.75.
“Further to the discussion in the team managers meeting on Thursday I [Jo Bauer] can confirm that we will be checking camber settings after qualifying in order to ensure that the recommendations made by Pirelli are adhered to.
“Any car found to be outside of these recommendations will be reported to the stewards as being in breach of Article 2.3 of the F1 Technical Regulations (Dangerous Construction).
“In order to assist with the procedure, and for use as a reference should you wish to disassemble any suspension components during parc ferme, we ask that you provide Jo Bauer with a qualifying set-up sheet in a sealed envelope prior to the start of qualifying practice.”
Any car in breach will be disqualified from the weekend, according to article 2.3.
