Overview
- Red Bull fitted a new steering rack and supporting parts for the Miami Grand Prix, resolving a steering feel problem that had dogged the RB22 since pre-season running.
- Max Verstappen said the car now steers normally and he showed the step in qualifying with a front-row start, though an early spin and a pit-exit penalty left him fifth in the race.
- Engineers first saw clear gains during a filming day at Silverstone after earlier checks failed to pinpoint the fault across the opening rounds.
- Waché said the team found the root cause shortly before the April break and that manufacturing lead times meant the full fix only reached the car in Miami.
- Alongside the steering repair, Red Bull introduced revised sidepods, a new floor, and a rotating rear wing that turns to cut drag, and the team believes this package will lift form over the coming races.
