Max Verstappen Competes with Red Bull Racing at the Italian GP
At the recent Italian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen and his team Red Bull Racing faced unexpected challenges. Despite the innovative design of their rear wing, the team's decision to forego a bespoke setup for Monza resulted in disappointing speed trap figures, significantly lagging behind competitors.
Team Strategy and Budget Constraints
According to Verstappen, the choice to stick with their existing wing was influenced by the budget cap, emphasizing that creating a specialized component for a single race was not financially viable. He stated, “You make certain choices under the budget cap.”
- 347.2 km/h for Verstappen
- 346.8 km/h for Sergio Perez
- Compared to Alonso's 353.5 km/h
While the unique wing design and aesthetic caught attention, the underlying issues of aerodynamic balance may prompt Red Bull Racing to reconsider their future strategy for Monza.
