Max says the new chassis will come "later in the year". So it's publicly acknowledged it exists

How can they afford this? Have they found a loop hole. The rumours are very true then.

couple of outlets reported that the new chassis was paid for with the money allowed to account for inflation

Well maybe it's just because RBR did a really great job with their first iterations of the car and suspension, and by that having spent next to nothing to solve the non-existend porpoising ?
I mean, Newey in fact is about the only lad of the bunch that really got his hands dirty during the groundeffect years in the 80's.

They also didn't crash a bunch of cars like Ferrari and Mercedes did. Mercedes crashed two cars in Austria. Ferrari have crashed more than I can count. Red Bull only had the big one for Checo in Monaco.


Also, it's quite logical to conclude that the reason they did not run the light weight Chassis in Spa is because of the budget cap. They need to get the full mileage out of the previous specification. Then the last chassis will do the last 6 races so they will only need to make 2-3 of the lightweight chassis.

This is great news!

For the past two seasons, Dutchman Rudy van Buren has competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, but has been promoted on his way to 2022.
He made the switch from CarTech Motorsport to top team Huber Racing, for whom he will also compete in the Porsche Supercup in addition to the German class.

That means that Van Buren can be admired in the support program of Formula 1 this year.

"Sixteen race weekends, sixteen test days, that counts! It's a very cool season with a top team, Huber, with three fast teammates."

"I'm supporting Formula 1 for eight race weekends, so also in Monaco. That gives me goosebumps. I think that's a really cool game!
I never dreamed that I would race in Monaco. I've driven on most of the circuits, but Monaco is a special place."

"A single seater has a bit more options to adjust the setup than a Porsche car. Our pool to change set-ups is slightly smaller than a single seater, but that doesn't mean that certain things can't feel different from team to a team," explains Rudy.'

.

"It's been in the planning for a while, some snags to get it right, but now I'm very happy that the news is out."
Van Buren informed Grand Prix Radio on Wednesday morning. "Next year the priority will go to Red Bull and that doesn't mean I won't race anything besides that, but the racing has to fit around it."

From World's Fastest Gamer to F1 Top Team

In 2017, Van Buren got his big break when he won the title World's Fastest Gamer and joined McLaren as a simulator driver.
The next step was work for Mahindra's team in Formula E and now it is Red Bull Racing that is fully committed to the sim talents of the 30-year-old Leeuwarder.
"It is a lot of what is coming my way now, but that is also the nice side of the medal."

Van Buren had previously crawled into the simulator of the Austrian racing stable.
At the same time, he is also working on Porsche Supercup this season and is therefore double booked next weekend in Monza.
"Wednesday, Thursday, Friday factory in Milton Keynes and fly to Italy on Saturday morning to go straight into SuperCup qualifying." says Van Buren.
"Far from ideal, that's not something you want to do all year. And the rest of the year is still on hold, which weekends it will be for Red Bull."

Rudy van Buren World's Fastest Gamer

Van Buren made his debut in the Porsche Supercup this year with Huber Racing and also drives Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.
"We have Zandvoort this weekend, Monza next week and then Supercup is ready for this year. And then there are two more games for the German championship."

"Hopefully those races will be better than last year, but we have made a step in terms of pace in the last few races so I hope
that we can just show that this weekend. Normally Zandvoort is kind to me, so we just go for it."

Max his trainer flew yesterday morning again to Monaco to train with Max.

RB hire new sim driver who likes the same style of setup as Max (and often builds the setups that Max uses in his simracing). Astute signing

It is schumacher-esque. They are signing whoever he wants

[Shakeman]

Keane Reeves legendary wooden acting skills make him a perfect choice to become a new Red Bull plank. He has yet to decide which car he’ll be fitted to.

Unless they carry over this years chassis to next year, all teams will develop a new chassis this year for next year's car. So all teams spend budget on a new chassis. That Red Bull brings a new chassis so late in the season most probably means that they don't develop a new one for next year, but carry over this lightweight chassis.

So the real news is that Red Bull will likely stick with a very similar concept next year, as it will use the same side impact structure locations etc.

Rumors online say he's working on a documentary about BrawnGP. What that has to do with RB I'm not sure. RB were 2nd in the WCC that year of course. Otherwise maybe something involving motorcycles.

They’ll be able to use next years budget to build a chassis and compete with it in this year?

[GerryTT]

Teams like RBR, Ferrari and Mercedes will like to spend all of their budget this year. They don’t want to not use all off budget.

If RBR can develop next’s year chassis under this years budget they have more money to spend for next years in season upgrades.

I don’t think they can transfer what’s left over from this years budget to next year?

[TimW]

My understanding was that they just have a yearly budget under which they update the current car and develop the new car (and run trackside operations, etc.etc.). So if you stop development of this year's car, you free up budget to work on next year's.
