๐จ| Red Bull's' reverse 'wing: it's not a response to Ferrari, but a project that comes from afar:
โ Red Bull's new 'reverse wing' debuted at Silverstone on the RB22, sparking intrigue with its unique design. Unlike Ferrari's Macarena wing, Red Bull's version is not a reaction but a separate project developed over months.
โ The Milton Keynes team had already presented their reverse wing plans to the Federation last summer, indicating a long-term strategy. This wing aims to reduce drag with open rear wings, crucial as 2026 power units focus more on electrical efficiency.
โ Red Bull's design features a central actuator that rotates the mobile flap backwards, increasing the slot gap between the flap and mainplane. This aggressive approach contrasts with Ferrari's, yet both aim to enhance straight-line speed.
โ Ferrari and Red Bull are pursuing different paths to achieve the same goal: minimizing resistance to movement. As power units converge in performance, these aerodynamic details will be pivotal in determining competitiveness.
โ The reverse wing's development highlights the ongoing innovation in F1, where even minor advancements can significantly impact performance. With the 2026 regulations emphasizing electrical components, every aerodynamic gain becomes a performance booster.
