We are tired of knowing that Red Bull’s situation is not the best currently. After all, victories have been disappearing for some time now and even the championships, which seemed guaranteed, are now in doubt, with Mclaren taking the lead in the constructors’ championship, and Norris with a chance of beating Verstappen in the drivers’ championship. And the blame for this fall is, of course, the team’s car, which did not evolve well this year and with each update that was brought, more problems arose, which ended up taking away the drivers’ confidence and completely unbalancing what was the most dominant car in the world. previous season. In the last races, the team tried to bring some improvements and returned some parts to the car from previous specifications, trying to understand what went wrong in this evolution process, doing everything to at least not lose Verstappen’s title, as the constructors’ title is more distant every day. The situation is so complicated that every thousandth of a second matters, as the teams are very close and the differences are minimal between the top 4. So much so that due to this, Red Bull decided to take drastic measures from now on, with the first of them being announced this week, canceling all the special liveries that were planned for the remainder of the season. After all, the team would bring different paintings, created by fans, this week in Singapore, and also at the United States GP, as a way of getting even closer to their fans, with these paintings being successful the times they appeared. And as justification for this cancellation, the car’s performance was cited as the main reason, with the team explaining that the special paint used in these special paintings, which takes up a large part of the car, would add a very large additional weight to the body. And as weight directly impacts the car’s performance on the track, the team made the decision not to present any more special liveries this season, using only the traditional one until the end of the year. It seems like a pointless decision. But, according to some involved, the painting of Formula 1 cars can add up to 7 kilos more to the total weight, translating into up to 3 tenths of a second per lap on the track, which is why we see cars more and more less colorful, with parts having exposed carbon fiber becoming more common every day, seeking maximum performance, removing every gram from the car. Until recently, REd Bull didn’t worry about this, since even with a few extra kilos added by the paintwork, its car still managed to win handily. But, in the current situation, this extreme decision had to be made, and I have no doubt that we will see more paint disappearing from this car for the rest of the year, if a few more tenths of a second are needed. Well, tell me in the comments: Do you think Red Bull made the right decision by canceling these liveries? And how do you analyze this current situation of the team? Do you think it will improve?
