Red Bull’s Saturday started quite excitedly, with a great deal of work by the mechanics who worked for a long time at the start of PL3 on therear wing of Max Verstappen’s car before finally allowing the Dutch talent to hit the track. As is well known, the DRS area is the most ‘delicate’ at the regulatory level at this stage of the championship. The mutual attacks between Milton Keynes’ team and Mercedes in this phase of the championship are constant and concern precisely the flexibility of that part of the car, as well as the opening of the moving wing.
The Austrian team has been trying to solve problems on the rear wing for many races, mainly related to the resistance of the structure. The problems had already emerged on the Austin ‘bumps’. The Red Bull mechanics, however, were forced to get to work only at the last moment on this aspect because – as told above Sky Sport F1 from the journalist Mara Sangiorgio – to ‘visit’ the box arrived in the morning Nikolas Tombazis. The Federation’s technical manager wanted to inspect the team’s work as the topic has become quite hot in recent weeks, especially after yesterday’s ‘cross-over’ press conference, with Christian Horner and Toto Wolff as protagonists.
The hypothesis of one is obviously not excluded new technical directive by the FIA, in an attempt to better regulate this area of the regulation that is being ‘explored’ with great attention by the teams. A similar situation had already occurred at the beginning of this very long season, with almost all the teams having been forced to modify their rear wings due to a tightening of the controls.
