Red Bull, so long heralded for having the best chassis on the grid, found themselves off the pace at Silverstone, their downforce advantage negated by the current spec of cars all being able to run flat-out through corners that previously would have exposed weaker chassis. So how do they get out of this one? Our tech team of Mark Hughes and Giorgio Piola investigate... The recent power gains made by both Mercedes and Ferrari with their Spec-2 engines seem to have left Renault trailing further behind than at the start of the season. That was very much what the performance of the respective Mercedes, Ferrari and the Renault-powered Red Bull suggested at Silverstone, particularly in how relatively ineffective the low downforce levels chosen by Red Bull were in combatting their two rivals.
