In ten days, at Silverstone, the Formula One teams will have to contend with the restriction of the blown diffuser. This measure is expected to primarily penalize teams equipped with a Renault engine, as the French block is particularly effective in this area, providing more blowing than the other engines on the grid.<\/p>\n
On the Red Bull Racing side, there doesn’t seem to be much concern, even if it is admitted that this measure will have consequences on the performance of the RB7 designed by Adrian Newey.<\/p>\n
The team’s advisor, Helmut Marko, believes that the Austrian team will lose about five tenths per lap. \u00ab We expect to lose approximately half a second per lap. However, we have worked to reduce this in terms of setup and aerodynamics. We are optimistic that we will maintain our level of performance, \u00bb explains Marko.<\/p>\n
If this decision should not therefore hinder Red Bull Racing’s forward march, Marko admits that the team is disappointed with the FIA’s attitude.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We would have understood if it had been decided at the end of the season like other technical developments recently. But doing this mid-season is a bit strange and not entirely understandable, \u00bb declares Helmut Marko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
