F1 LIVE: Driver faces sack as Max Verstappen concerns swirl | F1 | Sport


Red Bull have scrapped their fan designs for the upcoming races in Singapore and the United States over weight concerns as they continue their fight with McLaren.

“Unfortunately, when we came to the testing phase of what some REBL CUSTMS designs could look like in real life on the RB20, we found the paint used to create these bespoke, full car takeover liveries added unforeseen and undue weight to the bodywork of the RB20,” they announced in a statement.

“As I’m sure you can imagine, any additional weight compromises performance and the team are continuing to prioritise making this car as competitive as possible for the remainder of the 2024 season.

“As a result, it is with a heavy heart that we must let you know the team has made the decision to not run the REBL CUSTMS liveries on the RB20 at the Singapore and United States GPs.”
