Concerns at Red Bull: 'We have to make strategic decisions then'

The FIA announced earlier that it will carry out stricter tests in the future regarding the flexibility of the rear wing. This could cause some major problems for Red Bull Racing, according to Christian Horner.

Should Red Bull's rear wing not meet the new regulations, the Austrian racing stable will have to come up with a new one. It means that Red Bull will have to free up extra money to pay for this, while the team has to take into account the budget cap imposed on all teams.

The Red Bull team boss knows that his team will then have to make difficult choices in the coming period. "It means that we have to make strategic decisions," he told Formul1.de. "This thing has an impact of maybe half a million dollars. So that would get in the way of developing something else."

Red Bull is having an excellent season with Max Verstappen. The Dutchman will start from second place at the GP of Monaco and could potentially make up ground on rival Lewis Hamilton, who has to settle for P7.
