Red Bull made late changes to the RB21 between Sprint Qualifying and the Sprint in Qatar, which is set to get underway shortly.
The Milton Keynes crew specifically replaced the floor assembly (excluding the plank and skids), which had been damaged after yesterday’s off-track excursion in Sprint Qualifying, as well as the cantilever assembly, keel panel, and the right-hand rear brake-duct bracket.
The Dutchman avoids any penalties and will line up sixth on the grid as originally expected.
More to come soon.
