Spoon wing that is not very unloaded to the paste

Red Bull in Baku wants to strengthen its leadership in both world rankings as drivers and manufacturers.

The Milton Keynes team, in fact, has endorsed the lowest rear section in an attempt to compete against Mercedes over 2.2 km around the city round in the Azerbaijani capital, knowing that the RP16B can be determined to drive the qualities of the chase and downforce he has shown since the start of the championship.

Like Barcelona, ​​Red Bull will use the lowest back division in the sixth round of the World Championships. It is unusual to see that the main profile is in the shape of a spoon, with a very pronounced twist near the side aggregate heads, which significantly reduces traction.

The design is definitely more intense than the appreciated solution in Spanish GPU and the movable flap shows a much shorter chord, so the effect of the DRS is greater than other tracks.

It is also possible that this aerodynamic configuration will reduce the efficiency of rear wing throwing, which is almost a reason for controversy this weekend, which will be the last before the FIA ​​tightens the standard controls on checks. 1000 N vertical force should be used compared to the current 750 N.

At Red Bull, they believe they can take advantage of the downforce produced by the car body and rack set-up because the side-to-head heads are completely smooth, with no flow distortions and no spin generators at all. .
