A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
If it was coming from the wings, Red Bull should have been able to reproduce it by now. Just make bigger wings, they have drag to spare. Where Red Bull suffers is in the longer radius medium speed corners. This also requires floor downforce but the air speeds are lower. Maybe the steering of the wheels off center at higher angles sends tire wake towards the car and Red Bull's current solutions do not mitigate this effect (floor downforce loss) as well as Mclaren.

Yeah that seems plausible. Tire wake being managed poorly causing bad airflows under the floor eventually causing floor downforce loss at the medium speed corners where the car turns a lot.
