JONATHAN NOBLE has just been speaking to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner about the RB11 running without a front wing.
 
Kvyat damaged the only wing Red Bull has here at Jerez, so the team is carrying out very basic work that is can complete without one while a spare is flown out.
 
There's no guarantee that the new spare will make it to Spain in time to allow the team to do any more proper running today, so everyone at Red Bull is having to cross their fingers.

Aditionally, the Red Bull car can't possibly get any worse looking without a front wing...

Nissan's 2015 LMP1 challenger. Front wheel driver, front mounted engine with bigger wheels front than rear...sure is different if nothing else.

It is basically a back to front GTR then. Runs the same(or very similar) 3.6L V6 engine.

Should be interesting.....

The more I think about it the more I realize what a HUGE mistake Honda (and McLaren) made by going exclusive in their first year.

 

While McLaren has been battling another team could possibly have raked up some km's - pending obviously that the issues aren't 100% on Honda's side. Also now McLaren have no reference on the chassis side.

 

I truly hope this works out for them...
