What a chaos ADUO The ADUO issue always remains at the center of attention in the Formula 1 paddock. During the Austrian GP weekend, home team Red Bull, along with its manager Laurent Mekies, attended the press conference reserved for team principals, and the French driver was full of questions about the much-talked-about mechanism the federation has introduced to regulate and rebalance the performance of its power units. As is known, Red Bull was ‘rumoured’ by the FIA to emerge as the best power unit on the grid in terms of thermal section, causing great disappointment in the paddock and the Milton Keyens team, and in fact loud demands were made for a new measurement. “We received preliminary information from the FIA and were very surprised by this information – admitted Mekies – since then we have had very constructive discussions with the federation. They are carrying out an investigation. We are collecting as much data as possible to make sure that we have a full and accurate picture of the situation. Because it is not only about this result, but also has huge implications for this year and next year. So making the right decision is important first and foremost for the sport. And of course it also applies to Red Bull Racing.” “The impact on one side or the other will be significant.” Confidence in updates Power unit issues aside, the hope from Milton Keynes is to finally see improvements in the RB22’s performance and so there is a lot of focus on the updates introduced for the home weekend in particular: “We expect to come out of this weekend with a 2 or 3 tenths lead on the competition, which I think is a remarkable improvement given the number of races. This is what is important now, to be able to continuously reduce this difference. I am sure that this is the most important factor for all of us,” Mekies commented, also referring to rumors that Verstappen is increasingly turning to team changes, a hypothesis that the French manager denies.
