Red Bull parks 'Macarena' rear wing for Belgian GP after Verstappen crashes

Red Bull has decided to revert to its original 2026 Formula 1 rear wing design after Max Verstappen experienced two crashes with the experimental "Macarena" wing, an upside-down concept inspired by Ferrari's earlier innovation. Ferrari's wing, which rotated 180 degrees to optimize straight-line drag, set a trend in testing, but Red Bull's new design has been put on hold due to safety concerns. This decision highlights the high stakes and rigorous testing involved in Formula 1, where even minor design tweaks can have significant implications for driver safety and race outcomes.
