A secret of Red Bull’s superior pace in the decisive Q3 phase of qualifying may have been revealed.<\/p>\n
Autosprint’s auto.it website reports that the team has a special electronic setting for the Renault engine that maintains a constant exhaust gas pressure.<\/p>\n
When the setting is selected, the stream of gases flow constantly from the exhaust through the double diffuser, even when the driver of the RB6 is not pressing the throttle.<\/p>\n
This would increase downforce at slow speeds.<\/p>\n
The setting, revealed initially on the blog of the British journalist James Allen, is reportedly used sparingly – for example only in Q3 – because it is damaging to the engine.<\/p>\n
The RB6 has been on pole position at 8 of the 9 grands prix so far this season.<\/p>\n
