Red Bull tipped for 11-hour overnight simulator session to cure Barcelona F1 woes
Red Bull's simulator drivers are in for a busy🧸 night.
Ex-F1🧸 driver Karun Chandhok believes Red Bull’s simulator drivers will be in for a long night as they look to find improvements ahead of qualifying.
Red Bull’s stuttering levelඣ of performance continued on Friday at the Spanish Grand Prix.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen was heard complaining about the handling of his RB20 as ♛he set the fifth-quickest time of the day.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez struggled for pace ye𒊎t again, only ending up 13th 𝔍in the order.
It was a similar story at Imola, struggling for pace earlier in the weekend before a sensatio💞nal lap from Verstappen to take pole agai🐻nst all of the odds.
Chandhok bಞelieves a similar effort will be needed for this weekend.
“They will have someone in the simula🎃tor for 10 or 11 hours overnight,” Chandhok said.
“That’s what happened at Imola. They were nowhere on the Friday in 🤪Imola, Sebastien Buemi did 11 hours overnight, then Max got pole.
“I don’t think they are uncatchable. That’s the key point this weekend🍨. Perez looks behind the game, he needs to raise it.
“There are six or seven car🌱s who could get pole🌳. Max needs to bring his A-game. So do Red Bull.”
Former IndyCar 🅰driver Danica Patrick was trackside for Sky during FP2 and noticed how the RB20 struggled in the middle part of the lap.
“I don’t know if what I saw ♑on track is🎐 what’s going on with the setup. But I can explain what I saw.
“Coming out on the fast S’s, especially 7 and 8 and coming up that hill, you saw the cars bottoming out. Ferrari in particular. You didn’t see that at all f꧅rom Max, from the Red Bulls.
“✤I wonder if the attitude of the car has so much rake. The rear end is up soꦗ it’s not going to hit as much.
“Also, if the car is underste✤ering 🏅in the middle of the corner, it doesn’t give you a lot to lean on when it catches, which is usually does, especially with the kerbing here.
“Watching them all brake into Turn 10, they didn’t look like they could get as much out of thꩵe car into the brak♛ing zone as Mercedes, as Ferrari. It was noticeable from an attitude perspective.”
