Verstappen was as fast as the Mercedes on the straights. He could do nothing against the Ferrari missiles. But Red Bull had the fastest car in the corners this time, especially in the braking zones of the slow corners. That was not the case for a long time.
Max: "The new parts work. We have generally gained more grip. "
Adrian Newey said: "We have pushed the upgrade of France a second time." Asked for details, the star designer smiled meaningfully. "Look closely at the car. The new parts were only at Max's car. "
The Dissolution: Red Bull brought a new front wing to Spielberg. The flaps rise more outward, the end plates are reshaped. There may also have been a minor correction on the rear wing, as the riders were in free practice several times with FloViz at the back.
In qualifying, only Verstappen enjoyed the new parts. That was due to the many damages on Friday. "We were running out of wings," confirmed Helmut Marko.
Verstappen praised: "We took a good step forward. This can be seen at the distance to the pole position. Honda gave us a bit more power, and in the corners we were really fast. When I drove over the finish line, I had a big grin on my face. "

So, that means that they finally caught the solution for their grip problem??
And from Honda side, they've unleashed more power due to better mapping after the 1st race with the Spec 3?? Or they were conservative with the PU on France and now that all is OK, they went 100%?
