MCLAREN has halted work on a new suspension system after Formula One's governing body warned teams that anything that changed a car's ride height between qualifying and the race was illegal.
"We've had to change some of the things we're doing. Basically, we had a system we were working on, and we've now suspended that," engineering director Paddy Lowe told reporters.
He said the MP4-25 cars used by world champion Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton in this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix would have some aerodynamic improvements but no other changes.
McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh had said that his team was hoping to have a new system in place for Shanghai after noticing that some cars, notably Red Bull, appeared to be running lower to the ground than expected when light on fuel in qualifying. Red Bull, one-two winners in Malaysia on April 4, has welcomed the FIA clarification and said its car will be the same in China as at previous races.
McLaren is second in the championship after three races.
