"DRS in curves creates even bigger differences"

At the British Grand Prix next weekend, male drivers will again be able to open the rear wing on three parts of the circuit. For the first time in history, this is also happening in a winding part, namely the first section of Silverstone, which is fast as lightning. An open rear wing offers less support and a higher top speed, but results in curves for less balance.

A Silverstone Tour:

According to World Cup leader Vettel: "I find it a little confusing and I do not quite understand the intention, I do not know if it will work with DRS open, it will be tricky.We have to try it with the new asphalt, the tires that offer more grip and so on.If anyone can do it, then we will be: the big teams with the most d & rsquo; So I do not know if it was the intention to make the differences on the grid even greater? I know for sure that the other teams have less support, this which makes them even more difficult. "

Nico Hülkenberg, Renault factory driver, fears that his compatriot is right:" The first three are already apart, it's not that it changes my world But to be honest, I wonder if we succeed.It depends on the car, it depends on the adhesion of the new asphalt and the angle from the wing. "

Red Bull Racing probably produces the most downforce of all cars. Max Verstappen has already said that he was going to try it for sure, but his teammate Daniel Ricciardo sees a drawback: "It's a pretty short and pointed top. You should try not to steer sharply and you have to tell the car that you're sending with DRS so it's not a surprise, if we succeed, it's a benefit, because I do not think other teams can do it. if we start slipping, losing speed and tires, it's slower.
