long run looked quite quick from Max, despite rear wing choice
But not many other medium runners
I'm pretty sure that radio message was about the front wing. They showed the team changing it before the medium run and subsequent radio message. Not sure they'd have time to change a rear wing during a session.
"We just tried a few different set-ups out there, trying to find tune a little bit but at least I think the day itself was a bit more normal without any issues so that's what we were hoping for.
The upgrades are nothing too big but so far everything is feeling normal."
Are these current pictures? Can't see how they would possibly be in time to develop the 2026 car in the tunnel if so.lio007 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 19:12If anybody is interested about what's happening on the Red Bull Campus in Milton Keynes:

Here we can see where the new windtunnel will be located, really right next to the factory:

Max"With Max we are on the right track and on Sunday the grip on the track will change significantly, so you have to have a car that performs on Sunday. Max has already tested that, but we haven't managed to find the right balance.
We are not as far off this Friday in terms of setup as we have been in recent weekends and I remain optimistic."
"We tried out different set-ups. On a day like that, you try to fine-tune a bit. It was a normal day without any problems, which is what we were hoping for beforehand."

BTW it was never the plan to develop the '26 car in the new windtunnel. The '27 car will be the first fully developed in the new windtunnel.
They've lost half a year or so, because on the original location they had some initial objections from the UK Railway Network, and the local Council.
They may want to see if those suspension and simulator correlation issues occur in traditional tracks as welll, or it's just being careful with the budget because of Perez's crashes imo
