An unnamed ‘senior engineer’ has prolonged Red Bull’s Silverstone front wing saga.<\/p>\n
The team official said he was “very surprised” when Mark Webber made a commotion about teammate Sebastian Vettel receiving his new-specification front wing prior to qualifying for the recent British grand prix.<\/p>\n
“Throughout the period when he used the new wing, he complained that it did not work any better than the old one,” the engineer is quoted by Finland’s Turun Sanomat.<\/p>\n
“Mark simply did not get a good feeling with it, but when there was only one left, Mark absolutely wanted to have it.<\/p>\n
“He did not care about it at all when we still had two new wings,” the engineer added.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, German Vettel “immediately” liked the new wing when he ran it in practice, said the engineer.<\/p>\n
“We believe that the team management’s decision was well-reasoned and logical,” he added.<\/p>\n
Additionally, it is reported that Webber’s RB6 chassis is actually slightly lighter than Vettel’s, with the team working to equalise the Australian’s naturally taller and heavier body.<\/p>\n
