Ehm, no .. they've had low rake and longer wheelbase a long time before 2018, and this was entirely clear when this simpler FW directive came about.Moore77 wrote: ↑12 Jul 2020, 18:59Now to say it was a disastrous decision for Red Bull is a moot point. Its about how well teams respond to these rule changes that matters the most in the competition. Mercedes went from high rake to low rake, from shorter wheel base to longer wheel base and encountered challenges along the way, but that team found solutions to fix the problems.
It was always going to effect high rake/short(er) wheelbase a lot harder.
