The world got a much closer look at the RB19 in Monaco, and the Red Bull team boss has had his say on the matter. F1 RedBullRacing Formula1
Christian Horner reacts after Red Bull’s secret exposed in MonacoRed Bull boss Christian Horner does not seem overly concerned that F1 rivals have now had a closer look at the RB19 floor – courtesy of Sergio Perez.
Perez’s costly crash in Q1 ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix triggered a crane to remove the RB19 from the streets of Monte Carlo, providing the entire F1 paddock with a golden opportunity to snap away at the floor as it was lifted up. The underside of the floor is, by placement, a very difficult area of the car for rival F1 teams to spy on – but everyone has now had a rare glimpse of the intricate design mapped out by Adrian Newey and Co which has contributed to Red Bull’s continued runaway success in F1.
But, Horner believes that Perez hasn’t given too much information away to their rivals as he suspects intel would have been gathered long before the Mexican driver’s crash in Monaco. “It’s very rude to look up people’s skirts really,” Horner joked to reporters in Monte Carlo, as quoted by Motorsport.com.“They arrive in vans, they work with the cars and the shutters are up and so on, and each team will be employing spy photographers to get pictures of the cars when they’re in parts and pieces. That’s common practice.“It was probably the first time it has been suspended from a crane, but all teams are always striving for that intelligence.
