Top speed has been Red Bull's major strength so far in F1 this season. But here is a look at the technical updates the team brought to perform at a high-downforce circuit like the Hungaroring.
It’s clearly the consequence of a design direction that the team has taken with the new regulations though. For its drivers have often found themselves at the top of the speed trap figures in 2022, whereas in previous seasons they’d be at the bottom more often than not.
This new beam wing design is what most of the grid would consider the conventional layout for these regulations, with two elements mounted in series, one above the other. Prior to this, Red Bull had bucked this trend, opting for a ‘stacked’ arrangement instead. Plus when it was required to reduce downforce and drag at higher speed circuits, it also ditched the upper of those two elements, as can be seen at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix .Meanwhile, Alpine, which has trended towards the RB18’s overall aerodynamic layout with its A522, also introduced its version of the ‘stacked’ beam wing at Baku.
