Sky Sports: Verstappen drove with the 'Perez rear wing' again in FP2

Where Max Verstappen 's DRS clattered in the first free practice session, that was no longer the case a few hours later. The rear wing looked very stable in the second free practice on the street circuit of Azerbaijan. Did Red Bull Racing fix the problem? Yes and no!

Verstappen drove with a different rear wing than teammate Sergio Perez. Red Bull is trying everything it can to make the car lighter, but this caused Verstappen to have problems with the DRS. In Spain the rear wing refused to open. The Austrian racing stable made adjustments to the 24-year-old driver's wing for this weekend in Baku, but then another problem arose: clattering.

Verstappen was the last driver to hit the tarmac during the second free practice session, as Red Bull's mechanics were still working hard on the rear of the RB18. Sky Sports' Nathalie Pinkham says the Milton Keynes-based formation has confirmed to them that Verstappen is now driving again with the same configuration as Perez.

Leak not quite above ground yet

So a definitive solution is not yet in place, but it seems Verstappen and Red Bull have opted for security. You certainly don't want to have problems with DRS in Azerbaijan. After all, the straight is more than two kilometers long.
