There is exactly one week left and Formula 1 will be back in action with one of the most awaited events in the world: Silverstone. Several teams have chosen to test updates important ones right on the Nothamptonshire technical circuit, to prepare for the last stretch before the summer break. Red Bull e Classic Ferrari for sale are the big expectations. The Red in Canada he raised slightly the head after the defeats a Barcelona, Monaco e Baku, but now you need to win to regain the leadership of the World Championship, held firmly by Red Bull. On the eve of the week that will take us to Silverstone Christian horner he spoke to RacingNews365 and other media of the update package so much expected for Silverstone, and a change course due to a problem which risks compromising other teams as well.
The RB18 is almost perfect
La RB18 has arrived at win seven of the nine races of the season, including the last six in a row, thanks to a continuous development and a successful basic design. The creature of Adrian Newey in addition to being the most efficient in terms of aerodynamics, it is one of the few that does not suffer from the phenomenon of pouring. Just about that theme new directive emanated from FIA to solve the problem, you are recently collide Horner e Toto wolff, main team Mercedes. Red Bull e Classic Ferrari for sale in fact, they widely protested because, albeit with decidedly different methods and visual results, they both managed to handle il problem of the jumps without having to to compromise le performance of their own cars.
Binotto fears Red Bull updates
"I expect that Red Bull brings a big development to Silverstone. We will have to understand what they will have brought compared to what we will do. Then we will judge on the track.” These are the words of the Ferrari team principal, Mattia binotto, after the race in Canada. La Rossa right on the circuit of Montreal she played her cards by discounting the maximum amount penalty to Charles Leclerc who now has two new power units to use. There comeback of Monaco combined great speed of Sainz that in the end the victory was played with Verstappen, filled the Maranello team with hope and determination. But there is one factor that worries all Ferraristi. The Red Bull has already proven that she's grown up greatly from Imola, becoming almost unbeatable. So we ask ourselves what else will it be able to do with further developments.
The indiscretions
The last rumors suggest that many of the car's components have been redesigned in the past three months, to achieve afunctional and weight optimization. The updates for Silverstone should correct some "minor" weaknesses of the car in terms of performance, continuing to optimize the lower flows, or in the Venturi channels and in the adjacent areas, "under the guise" of the RB18. At Silverstone, the latest evolution should also represent a solid starting point for the aerodynamic concept of the future RB19.
In recent races, Red Bull has had problems with the RB18's DRS actuator. At Silverstone, alongside a revised version of the rear wing, a new DRS actuator should be introduced, an evolution of the current one.
Horner scales everything
As stated by Christian Horner, Red Bull at Silverstone will not arrive with the famous long-awaited package of updates. Moreover the RB18 it will not have major updates in any of the races before F1's summer break, including Austria, France and Hungary.
"We won't bring any of that. This is a very modest evolution, the components are introduced as they reach the end of their life, this is a very different form of development from what has been seen in previous yearsHorner said.
Budget problem chap
La reason which prompted the team to do step back on development is related to the problem of budget cap. Already in recent days the team principal of the Austrian team had stressed the impact that the spending limit is likely to have on the World Cup e on fate of the teams forced to abandon development. Problem exacerbated also by inflation. According to Horner the FIA should seriously consider raise the cap from 140 million currently planned. A limit that, according to Horner, at least 50% of the teams on the grid risk exceeding.
“I know the FIA is evaluating the matter. We are not the team that would have more problems, I think Mercedes and Ferrari have higher costs. And if you hear about mid-table teams that won't respect the ceiling, I think you understand that it's not development that contributes most to these costs. These are the fixed costs of tenders, transport, energy, utilities and the supply of components, all of which have become stratospheric. I think common sense needs to be applied because the situation could get worse. We have more income, thanks to the agreements that Formula 1 is signing, so it's not a liquidity problem".
