Red Bull set for crucial clarity with Canadian GP modifications

This weekend's Canadian Grand Prix will have a decidedly relevant role for many teams, starting with Red Bull.

The Milton Keynes-based outfit is tasked in Montreal with having to verify whether the difficulties expressed by the RB21, particularly in kerb riding, have improved, in relation to the upgrades introduced so far.

On the other hand, Red Bull will discover whether, instead, it is actually a characteristic of the RB21, and an intrinsic limit.

In Montreal, a new aerodynamic configuration is expected to be debuted by the Austrian team, which will exploit, above all with some slight modifications to the floor, the latest version of the front wing introduced in Spain. 

Not a profound change, simply a version with different flow conditioners in the lower part and with a different section of the diffuser throat. 

In essence, with these modifications, Red Bull intends to verify whether the RB21 will be able to not only be efficient on the straights, but also manage a vehicle dynamics that has so far proven to be very unpredictable on the mixed sections of circuits.

Max Verstappen has struggled to take the fight to McLaren in recent rounds, with even the medium and high speed corners in Barcelona having worked more in the Woking-based team's favour. 

The Dutchman has a strong record in Canada, with him targeting a fourth consecutive victory at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 

As for Yuki Tsunoda, he has continued to struggle adjusting to the difficulties of the RB21, with Verstappen remaining well out of reach for him.
