Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has cleared up the rumors that his team forgot to bring the intended low-downforce rear wing meant for street circuits

Things did not improve in FP2 as both drivers took a step back, with Verstappen down in P17 and Pérez in P19. While some of that might be due to different running programs and power unit settings, there is a more worrying sign for Red Bull as qualifying looms in Las Vegas.

Max Verstappen said the decision not to develop an ultra-low drag rear wing on the Red Bull RB20 is “a bit like [throwing] away two race weekends” in the 2024 Formula 1 campaign.
