Problems RB16 fixed? "Have correct countermeasures in the pipeline"

The RB16 turned out to be a difficult car to drive this season. Especially when cornering, the rear became very unstable. According to some experts this is due to the 'high rake' concept that Red Bull use.

For years, Red Bull's 'high rake' concept, with the chassis leaning excessively forward, served as an example for designers on other teams. Mercedes was the only team that didn't go along with this. Some say that this is why Mercedes went the right way. However, Christian Horner dares to claim that Mercedes proves that Red Bull is right.

"Mercedes has steadily increased its chassis height at the rear. If you look at how much in recent years, it's not that far from where we are," says the team boss of Red Bull Racing according to Motorsport-Total.

According to him, the problems with the RB16 were due to something else and the team has now found a solution to that. "We also have the right countermeasures in the pipeline, which hopefully will work out well. In the first place, the priority is to get the best out of this weekend".
