Red Bull still believes in it

While Red Bull presented its double diffuser this weekend, during the Monaco Grand Prix, it is clear that the performances of the RB5 remained below those of the Brawn and even the Ferrari. Now relegated to 43,5 points in the Manufacturers' standings, Red Bull has not benefited from the introduction of its double diffuser. Worse still, with only one car on arrival? that of Mark Webber, fifth -, the team of Milton Keynes seems to have been overtaken by Ferrari in terms of performance.

However, Christian Horner is not overly worried and expects a lot from the next Grand Prix. “ We expected not to be the best on this circuit, he admitted on Autosport. The Brawns have always been strong on this type of circuit and Ferrari has made progress in the last two races. It will be interesting to go to Istanbul and Silverstone. Theoretically, these are circuits that should correspond to the characteristics of our cars. »

Although Red Bull took time to introduce the double diffuser, it occupied the team for a good part of the weekend. “ It was a lot of work and a big effort from all the members of the team. They didn't sleep much. But it clearly increased the aero performance of the car ", he added.

Performances which could prove decisive in the coming weeks in catching up. “ The season has only just begun. They [Brawn GP] have a comfortable lead in both championships? but one or two bad races for Jenson [Button] and one or two victories for Sebastian or Mark can allow us to get back into the fight. »
