Red Bull advisor Dr Helmut Marko blamed their old wind tunnel for the car's lack of performance in the current F1 season. He also claimed that their new wind tunnel would be running in 2026.
The Milton Keynes outfit is arguably in their worst form since the 2021 season. Although sitting in second place currently, the RB20 has not won a single race since the Spanish Grand Prix which was held in June. This is a huge letdown for the team that dominated the grid in the past two seasons with a winning rate of 95.5%, breaking multiple long-standing F1 records.
Speaking about their current performance, Helmut Marko suggested that the wind tunnel might be to blame. He claimed that it's a "post-war model built by the British Army."
