[Saba Sports News] According to media reports, the Red Bull team will upgrade their car for the upcoming F1 Canadian Grand Prix, mainly focusing on aerodynamic kits, with the core being the revised front wing introduced in the Spanish Grand Prix. They will make minor modifications to the floor, adjust the air flow regulator layout to optimize rear downforce. Previously, the RB21 car had unpredictability in medium-to-high speed corners, which was a key factor limiting its ability to compete with McLaren. However, if the upgrade fails to meet expectations, Red Bull may be forced to start the “B-spec car” development during the summer break. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada has special characteristics with long straights and continuous combinations of turns, requiring high straight-line speed and cornering performance from the cars. Red Bull’s decision to upgrade the car at this race is precise optimization based on track characteristics, aiming to fully utilize the RB21’s straight-line speed advantage while improving its shortcomings in corners to better respond to competitors such as McLaren and Ferrari.
