Red Bull Racing is rumoured to be looking to raise the bar even higher when it comes to technical upgrades. In Imola, the team is expected to bring a solution to make the new Pirelli tyres easier to drive with.
Red Bull knows it's necessary to be on top of things all the time to be able to compete with Mercedes for the title.

In principle, adjusting the rear wheels is prohibited, but Red Bull is said to have found a solution for this. By adjusting the flexibility of certain parts and making electronic adjustments to the differential, engine and brakes, the angle of the rear wheels in the corners could be changed.
For now it is still a matter of rumours, but the reports seem reliable. In Imola we will see if the reports are true, and how much Red Bull will benefit from this solution.
