''With Honda we're working hard to find a solution to the problem before this weekend, so it won't happen again in the second race. We now know where the problem lies and we'll find a solution'', concludes Horner, who will be racing with his team again on their own Red Bull Ring.
Great news the issue has been found and a correction is being prepared for Race 2 at the RB Ring this weekend!!!!

Anyone besides me not being a fan of holding back to backs at the RB Ring and Silverstone? They’ve had plenty of time and dozens of tracks throughout Europe to chose from. It wouldn’t even be that difficult since there’s no fans so logistics wouldn’t be insane. As much as I like this venue I’d much rather have them at a different track this weekend.

Another thing that irks is the penalty for Lewis was pretty lenient. He was mostly at fault for the incident and cost Alex at minimum second place and probably the win with him having fresher, softer tires.

That's GREAT news my friend, here's hoping the Honda tech's can modify that flywheel to work perfect!

Nope, it's in the garage hanging on the WALL and used as a bumper stop.
Audi were handing them out free at Brands after the race then but they've stopped that now

*Agree the penalty for Lewis was risible for taking out Alex when he was on course for an almost certain win with the Mercs' g/box sensors slowing them near the end.

According the latest from Horner :

We are working on a "Red Bull DAS"
It's approved by the FIA . So ,why shouldn't we...
