Christian Horner told what he considers to be unfair to change the rules because of the cars' ticking over.

The return of the ground effect with Venturi tunnels in the new generation of F1 cars for 2022 has resulted in a phenomenon that has impacted some teams more than others.

The issue reached a new peak on the weekend of the Azerbaijan GP, with drivers struggling with their cars primarily bouncing during the long, 2,200-meter (6,000-foot) rutted section of the Baku street circuit.

Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell talked about safety concerns, while AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly felt that the FIA needed to find a solution to "save us from ending up wearing a cane at age 30."

Red Bull has far fewer problems with its car's ticking over than many other teams. Max Verstappen won by doing a double with Sergio Perez in Baku, extending Red Bull's lead in both championship tables.

It is the first time Red Bull drivers have been first and second in the drivers' standings since 2011, while their advantage in the constructors' championship now stands at 80 points.

Discussing the drivers' request to adjust the rules to eradicate the chop, Red Bull F1 boss Horner pointed out that teams "can always put a thicker board on the car if they want" and that "the easiest thing is obviously to lift the car."

"You have a choice as to how high your car is, don't you?" said Horner.

"You should never drive a car that is not safe. But I think that's more for the technicians. Because certain cars have problems. And there are some cars that have very few problems."

"So it seems unfair to penalize those who did a decent job, versus those who maybe missed the mark a little bit."

Horner added that the FIA should only intervene if it is "a genuine safety concern across the grid."

"But if it's only affecting isolated individuals or teams, it's something that that team should potentially deal with," he said.

Reports emerged during the Azerbaijan race weekend that teams rejected a proposal last year to increase the minimum height of cars under the new regulations.

But growing calls from drivers concerned about their safety have brought the issue back into the spotlight ahead of this weekend's Canadian GP.

Asked how he would deal with his drivers if Red Bull were struggling with the ticking, Horner said he would "tell them to complain as much as they can over the radio," calling it "part of the game."

"There are remedies for the clicking, but it's at the expense of the performance of the car," Horner said.

"So the easiest thing to do is to complain. Every team has a choice."
