Red Bull is openly questioning why the FIA banned one of the four DRS zones in Melbourne. “I don’t really understand why they took it away,” world champion Max Verstappen said. “It’s strange that decisions like this are made because only one team wants it,” the Red Bull official said. It is believed Red Bull is particularly upset about the decision because the run to turn 9 is where title rival Ferrari’s porpoising is the worst – and having the wing closed helps with that. Not just that, Red Bull’s 7kph top speed advantage over Ferrari in the DRS zone in question was reduced to just 1kph after the FIA’s decision to remove it. “He goes over the limit – he wants too much,” he said.
