Red Bull technical director Pierre Waché has detailed why the team’s correlation issues will soon be a problem of the past.
Red Bull technical director Pierre Waché believes the team’s long-standing correlation problems will not affect them in 2026. The team has struggled with these issues due to their older wind tunnel compared to rivals and invested significantly in a new one. The correlation issue led to unsuccessful upgrades and a slip in performance, with Max Verstappen losing the drivers’ title to Lando Norris last year. Waché stated that the new regulations and bigger data available this year will reduce the risk of correlation issues. The new wind tunnel is set to replace the 70-year-old model soon, showcasing Red Bull’s commitment to resolving the problem.
