Christian Horner, F1 team representative for Red Bull Racing, has accused Mercedes F1 of bringing the W13 “violating the spirit of regulation” to the F1 Bahrain test without side pods.
There were rumors this week that the Mercedes F1 team would introduce the W13 without side pods, but Thursday’s F1 Bahrain test proved that rumors were true.
Sky Sports expert and analyst Martin Brundle likens the new W13 bodywork to “a bar of chocolate melted left behind in the sun,” “bodywork wraps around the car’s highly creative cooling system. Must be out. “
And Red Bull Racing saw the Mercedes F1 solution and said it was “illegal” as early as possible.
“The new Mercedes violates the spirit of regulation,” Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner told Auto Motor und Sport.
“There are some parts that are not legal for us.”
Adrian Newey, a leader in Red Bull Racing technology, is said to be on the lookout for the radical Mercedes F1 design, which Red Bull Racing has done with the FIA (International Automobile Federation). ) Still not sure if it will escalate to a full-fledged official protest
on the other hand. As for Red Bull Racing’s RB18, it doesn’t look much different from the car that was unveiled at the F1 preseason test in Barcelona a few weeks ago. However, some major upgrades have been reported to be underway and will be implemented on the second and third days of the F1 Bahrain test.
McLaren is reportedly aiming to get involved in the title battle alongside Ferrari and has the same plans as Red Bull Racing.
