TECH WEEKLY: How Red Bull's front wing changes have aided Verstappen's title bid
Mark Hughes and illustrator Giorgio Piola explain the impact of changes made to Red Bull's front wing during the second half of the season.


Ever since Zandvoort, Red Bull have been paying a lot of attention to their front wing – and that seems to be at the heart of the car’s improved performances compared to the first half of the season, something which has brought Max Verstappen into championship contention.
Since returning from the summer break, Verstappen has won five times in 10 races. In the 13 races before the break, he won only twice.
Although the basic Zandvoort front wing, with its big plan area, has been retained ever since, there have been multiple variations of flap shape and flexibility control.
