Red Bull has less wind tunnel time compared to their rivals due to finishing at the head of the Constructors’ Championship.
Max Verstappen, the Red Bull driver, believes that it is fair for the team to have less wind tunnel testing time compared to their rivals due to their success in Formula 1. The regulations state that higher-placed teams in the Constructors’ Championship have less development time for the following year. Despite Red Bull’s victory in the last season and this season’s title, their wind tunnel allocation has been further reduced for breaching the budget cap. Verstappen expressed curiosity about the pecking order for next year and acknowledged that the rules are fair and good for the sport. He also praised Mercedes for focusing on understanding their current car while Red Bull is working on improving their current package and preparing for next year.
