A wild rumor in the paddock in Bahrain: Red Bull would secretly design a completely new car. Stupid, according to CEO Helmut Marko, although they are working hard on aerodynamic improvements. The first package must arrive in China, the next in Spain.
"There will be no new car", Marko leaves no doubt about it FORMULA 1. A different concept is being worked on - according to Max Verstappen, the front wing in particular is a point of attention. Because, as Marko acknowledges: “We have an aerodynamic problem. That is "in the chassis."
That solution is not the work of a week, Marko admits. The first package of updates is coming next week, in China, for the necessary aerodynamic adjustments for the RB15 is waiting until the first European race, mid-May in Spain.
Red Bull is really looking for the fault in itself, it is not the fault of engine supplier Honda, says Verstappen. “Honda is doing a good job. Nothing breaks. We can't say anything about that. We ourselves are wrong in terms of balance. "In short:" It must be better, we lack pure speed. "
However, Verstappen is "confident that the response is quick" at the design tables in the design office and at the factory, where, according to Marko, top designer Adrian Newey, his platoon of engineers and the wind tunnel are already working overtime.
So yes, there will be some upgrades on China too. Nice to read itWouter wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 12:44https://www.formule1.nl/nieuws/marko-ge ... t-updates/

I know for 2017, Newey had by then taken a step back and was less involved, I think due in large part to the Aston Martin Valkyrie project. After the slow start, he took on a more active role. It's possible his reduced involvement dates further back because he was also involved in the America's Cup with Ben Ainslie, around 2014, if I'm not mistaken. But I'm really surprised that this is happening now, because we've heard from Christian and Marko that the new collaboration with Honda was a big motivation for him and it should be.Zynerji wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 18:07Makes me wonder if there are 2 design teams leap frogging years...Juzh wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 13:07shades of 2015/2017 where they also started completely on the wrong foot and then eventually turned the car around trough the year (2015 less so, but renault was a total waste that year), except for the engine being more competitive this time.

The biggest mystery is why the Red Bull does not get out of the soft tires what he should actually get out. "The trend was already there in Australia, but not as blatant as in Bahrain," recalls sporting director Helmut Marko. "We did not get the soft tires working. The car slips forward, it slides behind. On the medium tire, our car was transformed. "
Interestingly, the engineers blame the aerodynamics. "Newey was deep in himself. That means he has recognized the problem, "smiled Marko. Does he already have the solution? Grazer shrugs: "I hope."
Horner concluded: "With this problem, it's hard to keep the pace of Ferrari and Mercedes." When the safety car with three laps to go on the track, Verstappen missing 30 seconds to winner Lewis Hamilton. A Charles Leclerc without engine problem would have landed 40 seconds before Verstappen.
The statements of the participants point to an unstable downforce. That happens rarely at Red Bull. The cars are usually known to work in a big window. This puts Newey and his team ahead of a double task. You generally have to find contact pressure and then even stabilize it. Right now, the Haas are just as fast on the corners and could be dangerous on certain tracks.
