Is Red Bull deliberately pushing the limits? 'Will make sure it's legal'
- GPblog.com
The rear wing of Max Verstappen is again the talk of the day. During the first free practice, the rear wing clattered a lot when the DRS was open. Karun Chandhok analyzes the situation. According to the analyst, Red Bull Racing knows what they are doing.
Christian Horner already indicated after the session that their rivals have probably already gone to the FIA to point out the clattering rear wing. During the title race in 2021, Red Bull Racing's rear wing also caused a stir because of the so-called flexi-wing.
Verstappen started the second free practice session with a delay, as his team had to make repairs to the rear wing to fix the problem. This looked stable during the rest of the session, but according to Sky Sports, the Dutchman drove with the same rear wing as Perez. The problem is therefore not yet completely solved.
Red Bull seeks the limits
"It's an issue the FIA and the other teams would like to look at. Red Bull are aware of it. They are very good at pushing the edge of the limits of the regulations which is frankly their job. That's what Formula 1 is all about, especially at the sharp end of the grid. They'll find some sort of solution to make sure it is legal and works in the Grand Prix", Chandhok says on Sky Sports.
