Red Bull's genius 'triple DRS' F1 trick explained
- Posted by storm on Mar 28, 2023
Lewis Hamilton said he'd never seen a car as fast as the Red Bull RB19 after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. And he wasn’t only talking about its all-round performance.
For Hamilton was also amazed at the speed differential when Max Verstappen overtook him at the end of lap 11, breezing past on the run to the first corner. Yes, Verstappen had the DRS open and Hamilton’s was closed, but even so it was a big difference of as much as 34 kilometres per hour - as much as twice what might traditionally be expected.
That’s led to questions about what clever trick Red Bull might be using to achieve this effect. In this video, we’ll explain just how big the Red Bull DRS advantage is and how it is achieving it.
