Alexander Albon understands why Red Bull Formula 1 team-mate Max Verstappen received both versions of the new RB16 nose design for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Red Bull handed Verstappen exclusive use of a new nose concept that hints at a fresh direction for the team in its push to bring more performance to its RB16.
While a raft of floor updates had been spotted during Red Bull’s filming day at Silverstone last week, the team added a revised nose design when it hit the track at the Red Bull Ring.
With the design having just been given the release from the factory, only two versions of it were available – and these were handed to Verstappen as a race part and spare.
Albon has used the previous nose concept for Austria, but fully understood why Verstappen got the nod for the new nose this weekend. He hopes to have his own version for next weekend’s second race in Austria.
