This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
To be honest it's risky to bring a huge all-out upgrade package here, since there's only one free practice, not nearly enough time to find the right setup, if you change too many elements. I think that's why Red Bull is concentrating only on the floor, further developing the "frankfenstein floor" they introduced in Baku, which aims to solve their stability problems first. A floor upgrade can have a huge impact on stability, particularly in how the car behaves through high-speed corners and under braking, and we know that the floor generates 60% of the total downforce. If they can solve the stability issues, they will likely regain the performance edge without overwhelming the team with too many changes during a race weekend with limited time.
Quite to the contrary. The updates are aimed at reducing the instability that hurts Checo more than Max
Yeah but with my eyes I saw Max had the fastest first sector. Which usually means the car has a good front-end in medium-high speed corners.
Sure but that doesn't mean what you said about the update is true. From what we've been told the update will reduce instability and they can trace it back to 2023 Barcelona, prior to which checo was closer to the pace than afterwards, and they hope he will find his feet again
Max set a mighty lap with lower PU than Ferrari and McLaren had later on. Also did it on a lot greener track. Could very easily sweep the rest of the weekend

yeah, Max stayed on track, unlike Lando. Really really impressive stuff!
