RB’s challenge for sixth in the Formula 1 constructors’ championship has been boosted by the adoption of Red Bull Racing’s 2024-specification rear suspension for the Las Vegas Grand Prix onwards
Red Bull Racing has enhanced their challenge for sixth place in the Formula 1 constructors’ championship by installing their 2024-specification rear suspension starting from the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The battle for this position among Alpine, Haas, and Red Bull is crucial as finishing sixth instead of eighth can mean a difference in prize money of over $20 million. Red Bull Racing is currently in eighth place, with Alpine only five points ahead in sixth. The team was able to make modifications to the suspension orientations and profiles, aligning them with the regulations. Along with the suspension update, there have been aerodynamic enhancements introduced to improve performance, such as adjustments to the rear sidepods and new winglets. This new rear suspension not only provides mechanical upgrades but also aims to enhance aerodynamics, ultimately improving lap time according to RB racing director Alan Permane.
