Driving til the wheels fall off
Hi everyone.
I've noticed recently that Red Bull do far more showcar events than any other F1 team.
Now I know the car is effectively an old V10 with 2011 livery, but for these events, what's stopping Red Bull from testing mechanical and electrical parts "under the hood"?
As well as gathering data on the tyres?
Surely the FIA won't send out an official to every one of these publicity events, so what's stopping Red Bull from using these events to test parts that aren't visible?
