In 2018, Mercedes almost met their match in Ferrari, as the car was absolutely baking its rear tyres through the carcass temperature being too hot, and that causing blistering.
By the time the Belgian Grand Prix rolled around, they'd largely sorted it out, by utilising holes in the rim and a shim that sucked air in to the central part of the rim and then that cold air going up into the carcass, keeping it cool. It's a very clever idea, but Ferrari and potentially Red Bull thought it constituted a moveable aerodynamic device as Red Bull had tried something similar in 2012 that was banned.
So what was it? And why was the controversy gone as soon as the season finished? Let's have a look.
