Verstappen to receive this rear wing from Red Bull for Grand Prix in Monza

Red Bull Racing will not be using a special, Monza-only rear wing during the upcoming Grand Prix in Italy. This was confirmed by the team to GPblog.

Formula 1 teams and their drivers barely have time to recover after the Dutch Grand Prix because the next race is already on the schedule this weekend.

Then awaits the Temple of Speed, as the Monza circuit is called: a track where high speeds are achieved and drivers keep the accelerator fully pressed for much of a lap.

The Autodromo Nazionale di Monza is the definitive low downforce circuit on the F1 calendar, with its unique challenges. Several teams usually use rear wings specially made for Monza; small wings with little drag. Other teams opt - partially because of cost considerations - to take existing rear wings from their assortment and possibly make changes to them. 

Red Bull clarifies about the wing in Monza

Last season, Red Bull Racing did not have a special Monza wing. During the Grand Prix, Max Verstappen could not at any moment make a stand against for example, McLaren, who did have one. After the race, Verstappen suggested that Red Bull might have to consider having one such rear wing specially and solely for Monza in the future.

GPblog, however, has understood from Red Bull that this will not be the case in 2025. The Austrian team already has a low downforce rear wing, which was used this year in Silverstone. This will also be used in Italy on the RB21. The Monza configuration will therefore be based on this wing, but Red Bull can choose to trim it a bit.
