Chassis problems are a priority at Red Bull, not a DAS system
- GPblog.com
According to Red Bull Racing consultant Helmut Marko, the team is working day and night to close the gap with Mercedes. Red Bull has fallen far behind the German formation in the winter.
Red Bull's goal remains that season to beat Mercedes. It hasn't succeeded yet; Mercedes managed to win all three Grands Prix. Max Verstappen managed to finish on the podium twice in the Hungarian Grand Prix and the Styrian Grand Prix, but he didn't get close to the Silver Arrows.
No DAS system for Red Bull
Marko confirms to Auto, Motor und Sport that the big goal is to get closer to Mercedes this season. "We are investigating and checking in all directions how we can get to Mercedes", says the Austrian.
The team doesn't want to be too busy with smaller projects now, but it is looking at what is still possible in terms of major changes to the car with the limited time available. "The DAS system is off the table for the time being. We first have to solve our chassis problems", Marko concludes.
