The issue Red Bull are still trying to correct on the RB22

While McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes have all added significant performance to their cars with their respective updates, Red Bull are still trying to correct a basic problem with the RB22. This refers to Max Verstappen’s comments about how the car suffers an aerodynamic degradation of performance after a certain number of laps.

'McLaren’s call to pit Norris after the VSC made no sense'

Lando Norris and McLaren were left despondent after a race that looked to be theirs got away in Madrid. For the second time in seven days Kimi Antonelli benefitted from a Virtual Safety Car and in Spain he snaffled the win away from a driver who did everything right. McLaren were desperately unlucky with the timing of the VSC. They missed out on both ends of it by small margins.
