George Russell questions F1 rule change causing "significant" problem for Max Verstappen

George Russell has questioned Formula 1 rules regarding aerodynamic testing for each team over the course of a season.

Currently, the system works on a sliding scale. The top team is allowed only to complete 70% of the base number of wind tunnel runs allowed over the following year. That figure then increases by five per cent per team going down the result of the constructors' championship.

So Red Bull can complete the fewest number of testing runs this year, owing to their 2022 championship success. They only have 63% of runs available thanks to their penalty for breaching F1's cost cap, which saw them lost 10% of their allocation.
