Red Bull vise le poids minimal en F1 pour le Grand Prix d'Autriche

Red Bull a franchi une étape avec les améliorations apportées à sa monoplace RB22 lors du Grand Prix de Miami. L'écurie a réduit le surpoids et prévoit de nouvelles baisses pour atteindre la limite minimale d'ici la course autrichienne.

Après un début de saison 2026 difficile en Formule 1, Red Bull a introduit un package d'améliorations majeur à Miami, comprenant des pontons révisés et un nouveau fond plat. Ces changements ont permis de résoudre les problèmes de direction et d'obtenir les gains de performance attendus, offrant au pilote Max Verstappen la possibilité d'attaquer davantage. Verstappen a décrit ces progrès comme une lueur au bout du tunnel, bien que sa cinquième place ne reflète pas totalement le rythme amélioré par rapport aux trois premières courses.
