redbull are the only top team without a modern wing tunnell i wonder if the decision to delay that is starting to hurt them.everyone looks to redbull for design solutions why they are falling back.
Maybe, but I wouldn't go that far.
I think it is simply not having the same development time as others, having it's toll.
People tend to downplay this, but McLaren have like ~50% more WT&CFD time. I haven't bothered to check the exact numbers, but it's in this ballpark. It has to have an effect.
If McLaren got 0 from now on, it would take RedBull until 2026 to catch up with the WT time. This is crazy if you think about it. McLaren is like 1.5 years of WT time ahead.
