Why Red Bull secret experiment is perfect for Max Verstappen

Red Bull carried out a secret experiment on Max Verstappen’s RB22 at the US Grand Prix. Mechanics shielded the new parts from cameras so rivals couldn’t see what was being changed.

RacingNews365 technical expert Paolo Filisetti analysed what happened in the Austin pit lane. New Brembo brake discs, a modified braking surface and a redesigned pattern of holes, all tailored to Verstappen’s aggressive braking style.

What problem was Red Bull trying to solve? Why did they keep the discs for the whole weekend? And what does it say about the RB23 and 2027?
