Red Bull have fast-tracked their upgrade package for this weekend’s F1 Hungarian Grand Prix⛦, reports Lewis Lar💯kam in Budapest.

The reigning world champions have introduced their biggest upgrade of the season on their RB20 car at the Hungaror෴ing, featuring a revised engine cover, front wing and aerodynamic elements to both the front and rear.

Red Bull have faced intense pressure from their rivals in recent races, with Mercedes claiming back-to-back victories in Austria and Britain, and McLare🔯n also emergingꦿ as close challengers.

“It’s linked to temperature and the track nature,” Red B🌸ull chief engineer Paul Monaghan explained. “So we’ll see how it pans out here, won’t we? If the lap times are poor in relative terms, we’ll have to consider.

"But our belief is we’re going forward with this. Everyone at the factory has done a stunning job becauܫse we got it here earlier than expected. We’ll hopefully make good use of it.”

Monaghan added: “We’d looked to see how quickly we could bring this, and this is the🦄 earliest opportunity.

“Eveജrybody’s close to us, aren’t they? So we need to be at the top of our game, and this is another small step. The upgrades bar one part of it are on both cars, so it’s a huge statement of thank you to everyone that’s ꧃got to this point.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen appeared to ramp up the pressure on Red Bull when he told media on Thursday that he views this weekend’s race as being “important” for the t꧙eam, adding he hopes the upgrade w♔ill provide “quite a bit of lap time”.

“Based upon the 💙data we’ve got coming into this race, it should be valuable to us,” Mona🍎ghan said.

"I think really we rate it in terms of what e꧃veryone else has done, don’t we? We’ve made the biggest step we can make. Is it enough? We’ll find out on Sunday afternoon. That’s really the rating of it.”

Both cars will be running the same update package bar the revised engine cover, which is only on Verstappen’s car, with teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez sticking to the old-spec design.

Asked if running two different cooling specs will give Red𒉰 Bull more workload, Monaghan replied: “More work? No, not really, because you do the two cars anyway.

“So the fact it’s a subtly diffe🎶rent shape, not really, it’s not going to change our world. It doesn’t change how we try to optimise it.

"It’s something we hopefully will dispose of by I guess Zandvoo🔯rt.🗹”
