I'm quite surprised they are going with the bigger wing. I would assume they dialed it in between of two options they tested, high downforce in FP1 and lower in FP2. Verstappen will need overspeed in the race so can't run with too much downforce.

It is the same wing, only with a trimmed DRS flap. Means with DRS the top speed won't be much lower. Also being able to follow better in the dirty air is important.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑27 Jul 2024, 14:38I'm quite surprised they are going with the bigger wing.

Dunno...I think it is worse. 0.6sec behind is still a number and tomorrow he has to carry this huge wing...the issue is that he will be a sitting duck towards the McLarens. Big chance for worst case if even Mercedes can overtake. Then he has to give his position to Max in the first stint...
yeah I'm reading everywhere "RB has huge rear wing ! they went full downforce !" but I cannot see much difference in top speed with others; I think many were fooled by the wing RB used in FP2 which was clearly wrong (but maybe it was a test for Monza ?), so when they reverted back this morning it was felt like a full downforce choice, but reality is that the wing from FP1 was always the correct oneAR3-GP wrote: ↑27 Jul 2024, 17:39There is no difference in DRS closed top speed between Red Bull, Mclaren, and Ferrari.
