Red Bull ready to take risks at spa-frankarshams: The Milton Keynes team for the Belgian GP tested the same rear section found in Baku during the free training of the Azerbaijani GP but it was not used in racing.
In the film Giorgio Piola We can see the solution that the aerodynamic experts brought to Ardennes, directed by Don Fallos: in addition to the main profile designed by a main spoon, we can also find a mobile flap with a short shaft near the lateral area.

The purpose is very clear: look for maximum maximum speed in the maximum aerodynamic performance targets, calculating the fact that the required aerodynamic load will be generated by the car body.
The RB16B will face the development of the Mercedes W12 registered from Silverstone, which, when the new package is introduced, will include a shell-free base.
The side panel of the Red Bull’s rear wing is also completely smooth with no edges, swings and spiral generators.

In Alfador, on the other hand, in line with the English “cousins” trend, they have decided on less extreme solutions: the main profile of the rear wing is almost flat with a slightly raised front edge in the center.
The movable flap has a long string and although it shows a reduced incidence, it exemplifies the presence of a clear nodule, which guarantees good vertical thrust at slow corners such as the base.
