The first three races didn't go as it should for Red Bull Racing. Last weekend at Silverstone was the low point for Red Bull, with more than a second behind in qualifying at Mercedes. And things didn't get much better in the race.

Hopefully that will change a bit this weekend. Red Bull is lagging behind the Mercedes with the Honda engine. Because engine backrades are scarce Red Bull has adapted a part of their chassis to this. Namely, the rear wing! The rear wing is thinner and contains inlets, which reduces the downward force and gives more speed on the straights.
