Underside peeks lay bare Red Bull's secrets
The Straits Times|June 02, 2023
Sergio Perez's Monaco Grand Prix crash may give Mercedes aerodynamics engineers a useful insight into some of dominant Red Bull's secrets, according to technical director James Allison.
Underside peeks lay bare Red Bull's secrets

Perez's car was lifted off the street circuit by a crane after the qualifying incident, with the rarely seen floor of the Formula One car easily photographed.

The underside is the most aerodynamically sensitive area, with ground-effect sculpting responsible for much of the performance.

"Photographers are positioned at strategic parts of the track where there is a likelihood that the cranes will be brought into play and there they are clicking away furiously," Allison said in a team debrief.

"And then our inbox is subsequently filled with high-resolution images of other cars.

"We got a nice clutch of Red Bull imagery and that's always a good thing for our aerodynamicists to pore over and see if we can pick out details that will be of interest to us in our ongoing test programme."
