SILVERSTONE -- Toro Rosso has been cleared to race at the British Grand Prix after voluntarily replacing a part the stewards had deemed to be unsafe on Thursday.
Toro Rosso was called in front of the Silverstone stewards after presenting a car with a wheel tether the stewards found to be damaged in its initial scrutineering check. When Toro Rosso was made aware of the issue, the team failed to fix it properly.
The original report from technical delegate Jo Bauer said "the team refused to follow the instructions of the scrutineers and therefore the technical delegate checked the damaged tether himself and found that the tether was not only damaged but also several cut fibres were knotted together.
