Red Bull Racing F1 team principal Christian Horner was concerned that when Sergio Perez’s car was lifted by a crane on Saturday, his rivals had a rare chance to inspect the car’s floor. not Red Bull Racing has maintained an overwhelming advantage over its rivals with the RB18 and RB19 designs since the middle of last season, and yesterday won its 16th victory out of 17 Grands Prix at the F1 Monaco GP.
Much of the RB18 and RB19’s performance advantage is said to be attributed to airflow under the car’s floor. When Perez’s machine was taken out after it crashed in qualifying Q1 for the F1 Monaco GP, rivals had a rare opportunity to see Red Bull’s design. Asked if he was worried about revealing his car’s secrets, Horner joked: “It’s very rude to look up someone’s skirt.” The underside of the Mercedes W14 was also exposed when Lewis Hamilton crashed during final practice at Mirabeau. “This weekend was a bit of a show and tell for all the teams,” said Horner. “Everyone has been suspended at least once, so it’s the same for everyone.” But Horner said Red Bull’s rivals were already well aware of what the floors of their cars were like. i think i should know. “There are floor photos being taken all over the paddock,” Horner said. “They arrive in a van, operate the car, press the shutter. Each team hires a spy photographer to take pictures of the car with the parts disassembled. That’s the general practice.” I don’t think it’s the first time it’s been lifted by a crane, but every team is always striving for that intelligence,” said Tom McCullough, Aston Martin F1 performance director. We were relieved that our car wasn’t exposed in the same way. “Aerodynamics experts will look at all the cars that are hoisted,” McCullough said. “Thankfully our car hasn’t been lifted yet. Let’s do our best to keep it that way.” F1’s designers say they pay particular attention to making the car’s floor invisible. “Aerodynamics experts never want to share it. You can learn a lot from how the plank wears out. You can also learn a lot from what touches the ground. “But dare I say it, there’s a lot of very exciting aerodynamics up and down the pitlane.”
