\u00a0Red Bull had to modify an element of its rear diffuser during the recent Monaco grand prix weekend.<\/p>\n
Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport reports that McLaren identified an element of the dominant RB6’s design that did not conform with the regulations.<\/p>\n
The rear of the Adrian Newey-penned car has recently been under intense scrutiny by Red Bull’s competitors, resulting in numerous team mechanics crowding around the gearbox while it sits on the grid.<\/p>\n
“Obviously the back of the cars are so sensitive now we try and make it as difficult for others to see as possible,” confirmed team boss Christian Horner.<\/p>\n
Reportedly, McLaren’s engineering director Paddy Lowe spotted something on the Barcelona grid that he suspected did not conform to the rules with regards to the “infinite precision” principle.<\/p>\n
Red Bull was asked by FIA officials in Monaco to modify the design, but subsequently dominated the famous street event.<\/p>\n
“We had to run a version without those (diffuser) wings and found that it was even better than before,” said Horner.<\/p>\n
