The floor and diffuser changes Red Bull introduced in Barcelona were inspired from a 2022 Williams design, the Austrian F1 team has revealed. All details here:
Asked by Motorsport.com about the tweaks that were copied from other teams, Red Bull’s chief engineer Paul Monaghan said: “You can't assume that you have the best solution in all areas of the car when you first put your car on the ground.
“Our currency is lap time, isn't it? If you look, that piece of floor design that was out early 2022. I recall the Williams had it quite early on and some other people had it. “It didn't necessarily work for us then, but we've looked at it a couple of times, and it's a small benefit. It looks like a slightly larger change than is actually realised, as it's coming towards the back of the floor.
“So it's not going to be the most influential thing, but it helps a little bit. And you're quite constrained height-wise, where we can do it. “It's been there for a while in our work. But we were in a position where we could include that in that local bit of the floor, and we've done it.”
