Red Bull have admitted to bringing a wrong rear wing to the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix after enduring a drab Friꦆday.

Max Verstappen was 17th and Sergio Perez 19th after the first day of🌊 practice.

While Re♌d Bull have been known to up the ante as race weekends progress, they have conceded to making a mistake with an updated part to the RB20.

"We don't have another rear wing, 🐈a smaller rearꦦ wing, as we see it on our competitors,” Red Bull’s Helmut Marko was quoted by .

“It would be more helpful, for sure."

Marko confirmed there was no possibility of flying out a new, and better-su🎀ited, rear wing overnight ready for Saturday’s qu🐽alifying.

He added: "On ෴the short run we didn't go out with a soft ty꧃re, and the long run was only partly good.

"Some laps were competitive, but then the rear tyres were disappea꧃ring.

“There were flashes of꧋ speed. We just have to ✤get consistency into it.

"We need more balance. On the single lap we can improve. But on t🍌he long run, the tyre wear i🔜s a problem at the moment."

However, Marko did have a warning for Mer🙈cedes and McLaren who were at the tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚop of the timesheet on Friday.

“People will be fastest on Friday or Thursday, b💞ut it doesn't mean that they are fast in the race,” he said.

"We will, for sure, make a reasonable step."

Mercedes’ Lewis Ha🍌milton was fastest on Friday, ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris.

Red Bull’s Max Verstapp💫en could wrap up the F1 champio꧂nship in Las Vegas.
