Phil Prew, the chief engineer of McLaren, believes that the significant advantage of Red Bull in qualifying comes from specific engine mapping making the rear diffuser more efficient.
« We are looking to improve the performance of our cars in qualifying and racing », recalls Phil Prew. “ I think that tire optimization can be a solution, as can the development of specific engine maps, generating optimized aerodynamic downforce with the exhausts. »
Phil Prew thinks the gap between the RB7 and the MP4 26 is not as big as it seems. “ I think we are three to five tenths behind the pace of the Red Bulls and that is a gap that we want to close at all costs. »
