Great video by Kyle here. And one that is interesting to think about. This all comes down to stall of the leading edge of the second element. In one design (Ferrari) you stall the top pressure side of the second and third element during closing. In the RBR design, you stall the https://t.co/ilBVt7aHQa

Max has had two unfortunate and unusual crashes in two weekends. But what is causing this? How could the unique rear wing design of the Red Bull be the source of his woes?

Why is Max Verstappen's Rear Wing Failing him?

Well at least it wouldn’t be a far leap for the orange army to adopt the papaya colors. ???????????? Rumours of a possible Max Verstappen to McLaren switch refuse to disappear - and the latest information suggests there may be good reason why.

Max Verstappen McLaren move: Red Bull exit clause nears as contract talks advance

The future of Max Verstappen at Red Bull seems to hang in the balance as McLaren negotiations are said to be in the closing stages.

As I heard, the original concern was regarding the influence of the RW to the following car…not a reliability concern.I’m hearing some very interesting things about the Macarena rear wings from a few sources.

1. Many believe the design benefit is a higher top speed. While this may be marginally true, the greater benefit is the drag performance on the acceleration curve. And in an energy https://t.co/q9mHT9eWcp

@SportmphMark @The_Opiate All that just to say that even professional race team aerodynamicists would never make definitive statement about someone else’s design because they simply don’t have the data as Mark indicates.

@SportmphMark @The_Opiate Anyone who gives exact numbers should be questioned anyways. Most discussions I have had with Aeros from other teams indicates that even a 0.1-0.2 second delay in pushing the button to close into a high speed corner could be enough to unsettle the aero balance. So most feel that

Dominik summarizes this really well in his post on LinkedIn @dominik_balasko

He says,

The aero behaviour on closing reflects that too. Ferrari’s flap only re-enters the slot gap suction region late in the closing stroke — delayed reattachment, wide hysteresis loop, slow https://t.co/BLE45V2sft

@SportmphMark It’s all connected.

So much pure vibe posting on here. lol. And the teenie boppers lurrrrrrve it. ???????? https://t.co/cWGW9HaJIj

As I previously posted, the FiA was already discussing the Macarena wing design and the detrimental influence to the following cars. These latest issues with the RB22 wing may just give them the justifications they need to go forward with these discussisons to potentiallyMax Verstappen's crashes in Austria qualifying and the British GP race, caused by rear wing problems, have prompted safety discussions between the FIA and the Red Bull/Ferrari teams that are running Macarena designs. #F1

Ferrari and Red Bull subject to safety talks over 'Macarena' wings

The FIA is in safety talks with Red Bull and Ferrari over the designs of their 'Macarena' revolving F1 rear wings

@dr_obbs To presume that a wing gets most of its downforce from the pressure ontop the element shows a lack of knowledge on the subject

Wings get most of their downforce from flow attachment on the bottom of elements, re-attachment of the flow back to the underside is not instant
