Red Bull is exploring ways to copy a key McLaren design, RacingNews365 understands.
Red Bull is exploring ways to incorporate McLaren’s innovative rear-brake design to manage tyre temperatures more effectively, as reported by RacingNews365.
McLaren showcased the strength of its rear-tyre temperature control during the Miami Grand Prix, allowing their drivers to outperform Max Verstappen after passing him.
Red Bull is developing an upgrade package to catch up with McLaren, with a focus on their rear-brake design, to be rolled out over upcoming races.
Despite FIA scrutiny, McLaren’s system has been deemed legal, prompting rival teams like Red Bull to explore their own interpretations.
RacingNews365’s technical analyst noted McLaren’s unique use of air-flow for brake cooling, an area other teams have yet to optimize due to liquid-cooling regulations.
Red Bull’s chief engineer downplayed the issue, emphasizing the need for methodical engineering improvements rather than seeking a ‘magic solution.’
He stressed the team’s commitment to incremental progress within budget constraints, with the ultimate goal of building the best car possible and swiftly bridging the gap to competitors.
