Red Bull Chief Engineer Paul Monaghan has stated that the recent upgrades to the RB21 were not just troubleshooting exercises, but aimed at addressing ongoing issues in the car over the last two Formula 1 Grands Prix.
The team introduced several updates, including changes to the front wing, suspension, and sidepod, to boost performance in Belgium and Hungary.
Despite Max Verstappen’s Sprint victory in Spa, the results did not significantly improve, with a fourth-place finish in the full race.
