Max Verstappen has had problems with his DRS on several occasions this season and the question was whether all would go well in Azerbaijan. Red Bull Racing announced to introduce a solution and based on the first free practice it seems to have gone well. However, Verstappen's rear wing does clatter very much at the moment it is open.
Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez somehow seem to be driving with a different DRS configuration. Perez's open rear wing hardly moves at all, while Verstappen's DRS clatters enormously on the straight. So the rear wing just flaps open, but whether this is entirely Red Bull's intention remains to be seen.
