In the magazine: Red Bull on the ropes
Just what has happened to Red Bull in 2012? Mark Hughes investigates the reasons behind the team's slow-ish start to the season. Elsewhere in the issue there is plenty of report action from the BTCC, WTCC and of course IndyCar
After two grands prix, world champion team Red Bull Racing hasn't yet secured a pole position or won a race. And, when you remember that last year the Milton Keynes outfit started all but one of the 19 races from the top spot and went on to win 12 of them, that's a pretty poor start by its high standards.
That shaky beginning has prompted AUTOSPORT grand prix editor Mark Hughes to analyse what's at the root of the problem. And it all hinges on hot air - the exhaust gases and their effect on the car's rear aerodynamics, to be specific. Read his insightful conclusions, complemented by Giorgio Piola's technical drawings, in our five-page cover story.
