Overview
- Red Bull ran a filming‑day trial at Silverstone with Max Verstappen using a revised RB22 that featured a fully rotating rear wing designed to cut drag on the straights.
- Ferrari continued work on its original ‘Macarena’ wing during a Monza filming day after only brief practice outings earlier in the season and no race use so far.
- RacingNews365 and other technical reports show key design splits, with Ferrari using endplate‑mounted actuators and roughly 270 degrees of flap rotation versus Red Bull’s central actuator and a smaller turn.
- Analysts reporting on early data say Ferrari’s large rotation cycle created activation and reset delays, while Red Bull’s reduced‑angle approach aims for quicker response in real track conditions.
- Reporters expect teams to consider Miami for a first competitive run, with estimated straight‑line gains of about 5–10 kph under the new 2026 rules that have encouraged divergent solutions across the grid.
