Racing Bulls sposta gli aggiornamenti a Miami e Montreal dopo le cancellazioni

La Racing Bulls introdurrà due pacchetti di aggiornamento nei prossimi Gran Premi di Formula 1 a Miami e Montreal, originariamente previsti per il Gran Premio del Bahrain, poi cancellato. Le modifiche derivano dalla pausa forzata di aprile dovuta all'annullamento degli eventi in Bahrain e Arabia Saudita a causa del conflitto in Medio Oriente. Il team principal Alan Permane ha descritto la situazione come un 'rapido doppio colpo'.

Il Gran Premio del Bahrain, inizialmente scelto per il primo importante aggiornamento della Racing Bulls, è stato annullato insieme alla gara in Arabia Saudita a causa del conflitto in Medio Oriente. Ciò ha creato una pausa di cinque settimane nel mese di aprile, posticipando gli sviluppi della scuderia italiana al Gran Premio di Miami dell'1-3 maggio e al Gran Premio di Montreal del 22-24 maggio. Alan Permane, boss della Racing Bulls, ha spiegato la situazione ai media, tra cui Motorsport.com: 'Avevamo in programma un aggiornamento piuttosto consistente per il Bahrain, che vedremo a Miami', ha affermato. 'Avevamo un altro aggiornamento previsto per Montreal, quindi avremo un rapido doppio colpo in quell'occasione'.
