Red Bull Racing will not use its 'Macarena' rear wing this weekend, but the team has introduced an update to its standard rear wing for the Belgian Grand Prix.
According to the FIA's car presentation submissions list, Red Bull Racing has arrived at the Belgian Grand Prix with just a single update.
It concerns the rear wing. After the 'Macarena' wing on Max Verstappen's car was linked to two incidents at the Red Bull Ring and Silverstone over the past two race weekends, the team has reverted to its regular rear wing. It will also feature revised pylon profiles. "Given the pylons now by regulation contact the mainplane underside, the interface is sensitive and revised with pylon changes to existing element profiles seeking to extract more load and at least maintain flow stability."
