Racing Bulls traslada sus mejoras a Miami y Montreal tras las cancelaciones

Racing Bulls introducirá dos mejoras en las próximas carreras de Fórmula 1 en Miami y Montreal, planificadas originalmente para el cancelado Gran Premio de Bahréin. Los cambios se deben al parón forzoso de abril provocado por la cancelación de los eventos de Bahréin y Arabia Saudí en medio del conflicto en Oriente Medio. El jefe del equipo, Alan Permane, lo describió como un 'doble impacto rápido'.

El Gran Premio de Bahréin, inicialmente marcado para la primera gran mejora de Racing Bulls, fue descartado junto con la carrera de Arabia Saudí debido al conflicto en Oriente Medio. Esto creó un descanso de cinco semanas en abril, posponiendo los desarrollos del equipo italiano para el Gran Premio de Miami, del 1 al 3 de mayo, y el Gran Premio de Montreal, del 22 al 24 de mayo. Alan Permane, jefe de Racing Bulls, explicó la situación a medios como Motorsport.com. 'Teníamos planeada una mejora bastante decente para Bahréin, que veremos en Miami', comentó. 'Teníamos otra mejora planeada para Montreal, así que tendremos un doble impacto rápido allí'.
