In the lead-up to the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, the FIA clarified technical regulations through technical directives, a common procedure. These directives didn’t change the rules but aimed to explain them better. The clarifications focused on materials around skid blocks and keeping tires cool. Red Bull raised concerns about McLaren’s tire management, highlighting differences in race pace. McLaren remained unfazed, emphasizing that rivals might be focusing on the wrong areas. Red Bull’s recent performance success may be track-specific, as Max Verstappen noted after the Imola race. Verstappen suggested that their competitiveness is notable on high-speed tracks and remains cautious about drawing overall conclusions.
