Mattia Binotto believes a new rear wing introduced by Ferrari over the past three races has helped to close the gap to Red Bull after a second consecutive victory in the Austrian Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc had the pace to catch and pass Max Verstappen on three occasions at the Red Bull Ring, backing up Carlos Sainz’s win at Silverstone a week before. That came after Sainz pressured Verstappen all the way to the flag in Canada, and Binotto says a new rear wing that was introduced in Montreal – on Leclerc’s car – has played a big role in the recent form. “We had a disadvantage compared to the Red Bull no doubt in terms of straight line speed especially in DRS zones – so in terms of the power of their DRS compared to ours,” Binotto said. “We worked a lot on it. “The new rear wing that we introduced only on one example – on Charles – in Canada, so we had it on both cars since the UK and with that new rear wing I think we simply reduced the gap. “We closed the gap we had in terms of speed. I think they still have got a slight advantage, but very little or negligible, and while in terms of power we are very close then it’s only about the grip limited in the corners where we can make the difference. “I think we have been faster not only because of the car but also the two drivers. They made a fantastic weekend in terms of car balance, car set-up, understanding the tires, managing the tires, and driving on track.

Sure go faster but break more often, nice trade-off if you are Red Bull or Mercedes looking for wins or podiums

I have a question regarding the exhaust system here: What is the (smaller) pipe running along the top of the main collector/output pipe and then joined to (not separate from) near the exit?
