“So my hope for tomorrow… the weather forecast is not good. It will be difficult to find the right solution, but for sure with such a small wing we can’t win tomorrow.”
Helmut Marko warned that Red Bull’s decision to use a skinny rear wing may hinder Max Verstappen’s chances of winning at the Belgian Grand Prix if it rains on Sunday. Verstappen claimed victory in the sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps by using his straight-line speed advantage to his benefit. Red Bull’s superior straight-line speed allowed Verstappen to maintain his lead throughout the race. However, it is unlikely that Red Bull will be able to replicate their success against McLaren in the main grand prix. McLaren could utilize pit stops to their advantage and potentially pass Verstappen during the race. With rain in the forecast, the teams’ setup choices could be crucial in determining the outcome of the race. Despite the challenges, Red Bull remains optimistic about their chances if the conditions remain dry.
