"If you look at the front wing angle of McLaren and Mercedes, they’re very, very different."
Christian Horner believes the front wing is a “key area” where Red Bull ’s rivals have found some performance in recent months.Sunday’s result means their position at the constructors’ championship is under serious threat with their lead now just 30 points over McLaren.
“I think that the way the front wings are being used are quite different. If you look at the front wing angle of McLaren and Mercedes, they’re very, very different. Very different to that rest of the grid.” Horner is adamant that McLaren are now the “benchmark” now and that there’s no “silver bullets” for Red Bull to get over their current plight.
He added: “No, McLaren are setting the benchmark now. That’s clear in terms of pace. They’ve been that the last couple of races. Certainly in Hungary they were very competitive. Spa it was Mercedes. Here, Lando in particular was very, very strong. “Definitely they have the fastest car at the moment. We have to respond to that. It’s not rocket science, there’s no silver bullets in this business, it’s a matter of understanding the problem, addressing the problem and then implementing fixes to it.”
