The Monaco Grand Prix was a challenge for Red Bull, as Max Verstappen finished in sixth place and Sergio Perez had a Did Not Finish, resulting in the team earning only eight points from the race. Despite these difficulties, Red Bull’s struggles made the championship races much more thrilling for neutral fans, as their rivals gained significant points. Throughout the weekend, both Red Bull drivers expressed frustrations with how the car handled the kerbs, an ongoing issue for the team. The difference in performance between Red Bull and their sister team’s car, VCARB 01, which does not face the same kerb-related problems, is attributed to the design choice of a stiffer rear axle by Red Bull. This design philosophy, focusing on a constant ride height for aerodynamic performance, has become a limitation for Red Bull as their competitors have developed cars that interpret the ground-effect concept effectively. Despite Verstappen’s talent, the RB20’s issues with extreme stiffness have been evident at multiple tracks this season, showcasing the impact on performance in a ground-effect era.
