'If we can just get an upgrade one step earlier than the others, then you carry that forward a bit...'
Ferrari 's Carlos Sainz during practice for the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
After a dominant start to the F1 2024 season, Red Bull’s superiority at the front has been challenged over recent weeks with Max Verstappen winning just two of the last four races. “That’s why we do pre-season here. And as a result of doing pre-season, we’ve got so much experience here that it levels all of the other variables for us and you get a good a good read on a package, so it’s always a good place to come.
“It’s always a race, isn’t it? So it’s not just what our upgrades are doing, it’s what other people are doing. “It’s targeting the same areas: the floor edge, what wraps under the floor in front of the rear tyre, and then what energises the diffuser expansion at the back.“So they do complement each other. It’s not like all of the Barcelona update kit overlays on top of the Imola one. Actually, they’re in different areas.
He said: “We’ve often spoken about how we’re looking to make the car a bit more benign, how we’re looking to calm it down a bit.
