Max Verstappen said Red Bull “throw away two race weekends” by not having a specific low-drag rear wing like some of its Formula 1 rivals as it suffered “in the corners and on the straights” in Las Vegas.
Red Bull lacked straightline speed compared to its rivals during practice, with GPS data showing it to be 7km/h down on the straights compared to Mercedes and McLaren, which led to focus on adjusting its rear wing to reduce drag.
