Red Bull Racing don't sit still. The Austrian formation has already arrived at Spa-Francorchamps with a new front wing for Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko previously announced that update two to five have never been on the car and that they have immediately changed the car from update one to six.

Front wing

"We are bringing a new front wing, we hope to improve it", says Marko to Kleine Zeitung. And for now, it looks good for Red Bull. Verstappen was able to set a third time in the first free practice session and even set the fastest time in the second free practice session on Friday. However, this doesn't say much about the qualification that will take place on Saturday afternoon.

Learning from MotoGP

Marko hopes that Formula 1 can learn from MotoGP. "MotoGP showed us in Spielberg how it should be done. And I understand when some people say that our sport has become too boring", Marko says critically.

The Austrian wants to ban radio communications and reduce technical aids. This should be possible with the new Concorde Agreement. In this agreement, there should no longer be unanimity for a change in the rules among the teams, only a majority is good enough.
