#F1: Three hours to go for the #USGP and we sit on some gambles from the top teams.

In spite of the amazing pole position, Red Bull are facing a few concerns in their garage. In an attempt to counter the technical superiority shown by the Mercedes during FP1, RB decided to risk

sending out the RB16B’s with a lower ground clearance - in comparison to the W12 - but this is coming with serious damage to their rear wing.

Keeping the car this low and crawling over the bumps caused small subsidence/cracks on

the main profile of Max’s wing which the team had to reinforce before Qualifying.

In addition to adding carbon in the lower and upper part of the main profile of car 33, the technicians decided to make a similar intervention also on Perez's RB16B which was analysed overnight.

#F1: Possible strategies for the #USGP

Current showers at the track but with the high temperatures and high abrasion at COTA, a two-stopper looks optimal this evening/afternoon, especially as the warm weather is expected to remain for the race.

@pirellisport

The exact strategy that each driver selects will depend on the tyres that they have left in their individual allocations, but in terms of the fastest to tackle the 56-lap race, @pirellisport bets on a stint on the soft C4 or medium C3 and two on the hard C4.
