Not a good look for Red Bull. Wing failure to close putting Max into the wall at their home race while all the shareholders are there.

Wonder if it had to do with the excessive movement that Ferrari inspired 180 flip wing does. Alway wondered if they would be more prone to break than the standard 90 degree flips.

It’s expected for Red Bull to go to the absolute limit of the car and driver

Without a doubt.

They all pretty much had DRS wing flaps figured out. This new deal is so much more.

Looking at his hands it seems like he just lost it when he turned in. Tires were probably overcooked.

Took a ton of the inside curb.

ETA: just watched a replay he was already losing it when he was on the curb

The quote about the wing not closing properly was translated from Dutch so maybe something got lost in translation.

It was from a post by @ErikvHaren on X and X translates it as the wing was "no longer connected properly". So maybe something with the wing broke.

Looks closed


It appears Max just pushed the car past its limits to get a pole knowing he had 5th wrapped up

Zach just said Mclaren is bringing that "fun wing" to the party here shortly.

Is there any data that it is making a difference? Only Ferrari and RB are running it and we know RB isn't competitive and Merc has been eating Ferrari's lunch outside of a couple of timely Safety Car/Yellow Flag saves.

So Zach wants to kill his drivers?

I would think it has to be or else they wouldn't run it. Might be track dependent as well.

They are talking about potential 2 or even 3 pit stops today.
