Thus, the new pontoons are an evolution of the previous ones, which have a marked line in the center to achieve an aerodynamic improvement. Likewise, the upper part has also been modified, to redirect the flow of air.
As soon as you go out on the track with this new design Pérez has set the best time, so the sensations inside the Red Bull garage are very positive. For his part, Max Verstappen will be in charge of testing the new update this followingnoon.
