Red Bull has filed a complaint to the FIA against McLaren for leaving a sensor hole uncovered beyond free practice sessions, which shouldn't be the case as per the rules. The Papaya team eventually used tape to cover the hole as a damage control measure, according to reports.
Teams are permitted to install sensors in the holes of their cars during free practice to collect data, with the requirement to cover these holes completely for qualifying and the race. However, Red Bull recently identified an uncovered hole in the brake drum of the MCL38 during the recent Grands Prix., the team from Woking is reportedly using additional holes in the brake drums at both the front and rear.
Thus, Red Bull complained that the holes remained open during the races. However, the FIA did not support this theory. During the races in Austria and Silverstone, the governing body found that McLaren had covered the holes with tape.
