New T-wing on the RB16 for Hungary
General
- GPblog.com
Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon came straight to the start of the season with a substantial upgrade package in Austria. The RB16 will of course also be prepared to the maximum for Hungary. The newest addition is a T-wing.
The Hungaroring in Budapest is known for its low average speed and many curves. It is a treacherous track as the curves are very fast and need to be tightly knotted together. High downforce is an asset, but also from the driving skills of the drivers a lot is expected.
In the battle to make it difficult for the Mercedes, Red Bull Racing will mount a T-wing between the cockpit and the rear wing of the RB16 for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. With this wing there will be more pressure from the wind on the rear tyres.

Verstappen en Albon achtervolgen Mercedes
After last weekend Mercedes seems obviously the team to beat. Although Red Bull has traditionally been doing well at the Hungaroring, it will be quite a challenge for the team to keep up with Mercedes. The weather threatens to make the situation even more difficult.
In all likelihood Verstappen will have to make it happen for the team. The Dutchman left his teammate far behind him in the GP of Steiermark. If it actually rains all the time this weekend, hopefully we will have a nice fight between the rain king and rain prince, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen respectively.
