Max Verstappen has revealed how Sebastian Vettel paid him a secret meeting after the controversial 2021 Formula 1 British Grand Prix. On the opening lap at Silverstone, Verstappen was tapped into a high-speed spin at Copse by title rival Lewis Hamilton - hitting the barriers, with the impact being recorded at over 50g. As a precaution, Verstappen was taken to hospital for further checks such were the forces involved, but was quickly released after no problems were detected. Upon returning to the circuit that night, Verstappen detailed a meeting with Aston Martin driver Vettel - who is in his final Grand Prix weekend in Abu Dhabi. Verstappen Vettel meeting Speaking ahead of the Abu Dhabi weekend, Verstappen praised Vettel's "caring" nature as a person before relaying the Silverstone anecdote. "I think as a person, he's always been very caring and of course I...

The effectiveness of Red Bull's RB19 DRS has become the most coveted secret among rival F1 teams. Opposing technicians, including those from Ferrari , have been gradually deciphering its precise functions in an effort to replicate its performance. Understanding the modus operandi of this element is no easy task, as its effectiveness appears to depend on several interconnected factors. These factors go beyond mere aerodynamics and encompass the dynamics of the car, particularly the behaviour of the rear suspension when the DRS is activated. At an aerodynamic level, it has become evident that the interaction between DRS activation and the car's diffuser is crucial. Other teams now understand that the diffuser stalls at maximum speed in a straight line, with the activation threshold varying based on the aerodynamic configuration of the car – high, medium, or low downforce. The threshold is inversely proportional to the downforce generated by the adopted configuration. ...
