Max Verstappen projects difficulties in the Monaco GP due to Red Bull suspension problems

Pilot Max Verstappen warned about the persistence of Red Bull’s suspension problems with the undulations on the tracks. The statement came after the Canadá GP, in the Circuito Gilles Villeneuve, where the car’s performance was affected by impacts on the curbs. Concern grows for the next stage of the Fórmula 1 world championship, played on the streets of the principality.

The RB22 model maintains rigid behavior characteristics inherited from previous years of technical regulations. The Austrian team tries to minimize the impact of vertical oscillations without compromising the generation of aerodynamic pressure. On circuits with smooth pavement, performance improves considerably due to the ease of mechanical adjustment of the shock absorbers.

When projecting the challenge on the Europa street circuit, the current world champion used good humor to describe the physical exhaustion caused by the bounces on the uneven asphalt. The team recognizes that the urban layout requires maximum impact absorption capacity to maintain stability when braking.

• Chassis Comportamento gets worse on street circuits with lots of undulations
• Current Ajuste prioritizes downforce generation in high-speed corners
• Desempenho in Miami showed evolution due to the absence of bumps on the ground
• Próximas calendar steps include Baku, Singapura and Las Vegas

The search for solutions involves detailed simulations at the factory to modify the internal components of the front and rear suspension. Engineers map the vehicle’s behavior on the highest curbs to avoid sudden loss of grip. The Dutch pilot indicated that he has hypotheses about the origin of the structural problems in the current project.

Team leader Laurent Mekies commented on the technical department’s options to resolve the defects mapped by the pilots. The manager rules out the need to wait for regulatory changes in the coming seasons to stabilize the chassis. The main goal is to introduce corrective updates in the next few weeks of competition.

The modification process requires caution so as not to reduce final speed on straights or efficiency in medium curves. Amortecer soft impacts tend to raise the height of the vehicle in relation to the ground, which impairs the airflow in the lower part of the floor. The factory focuses on creating a balanced upgrade package for tracks with different operational characteristics.

Histórico of failures on urban circuits accompanies the team in recent seasons

Problems with high curbs have been part of the team’s history since the beginning of the ground effect era in the category. Current cars demand maximum proximity to the track, generating violent reactions when drivers attack the limits of curves. The technical challenge is to make the shock absorbers’ response more flexible without causing harmful aerodynamic oscillations.

Evolution in the coming months will be fundamental for the dispute in the constructors’ world championship, which presents a greater balance between the main teams on the grid.
