What Perez’s crash revealed about Red Bull’s F1 floor changes

History has repeated itself for Red Bull at Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix after a crash for Sergio Perez opened the door for more floor secrets to be revealed.

Back in May, Perez’s Monaco Grand Prix qualifying accident resulted in his car being lifted high above the track to offer photographers a clear view of the underside of the RB19.

Rival teams were left rubbing their hands about finally getting a chance to better understand what F1’s benchmark squad has done with its floor.

So when Perez’s RB19 had to be retrieved in Hungary following his smash early on in the opening practice session, there is likely to have been an equal sense of glee about the floor being shown off again – especially since his Red Bull team had introduced some updates.

Ahead of the Hungarian GP, Red Bull has revealed in the official submission documents that have to be sent to the FIA that there were some specific tweaks to the floor edge detail as a consequence of revisions made to its sidepods.
