The key technical factor that’s aided Verstappen’s title bid

Red Bull's impressive resurgence in the latter half of the season, which has propelled Max Verstappen into championship contention, can largely be attributed to significant modifications made to their front wing.As explained by Mark Hughes and Giorgio Piola, the team has meticulously refined the front wing since the Zandvoort Grand Prix. Verstappen's performance starkly improved, securing five victories in 10 races after the summer break, compared to just two wins in the 13 races prior. While the fundamental Zandvoort design remained, various adjustments to flap shape and flexibility control were key to unlocking this enhanced pace.
