Technical Insight: Red Bull tests new floor during Silverstone ‘filming day'

Red Bull returned to the circuit at Silverstone on Thursday for a filming day in its Honda-powered RB16 ahead of next weekend's Austrian Grand Prix. During the session, with Alexander Albon behind the wheel of the car, the team used a new floor on the RB16 compared to that seen during the Barcelona tests. In the terminal area, the new base features vertically developed elements that divert the flow towards the outside, to reduce the phenomenon known as ‘tyre squirt'. Although the FIA has imposed a limit of 100km during the filming days, that will have provided Red Bull's engineers with enough data to compare the new floor to that run in Barcelona in February.
