Laurent Mekies revelou o verdadeiro segredo por trás da atualização do RB21 no GP da Itália, tornando o carro 19 segundos mais rápido que os dois MCL39, para surpresa da McLaren, que imediatamente entrou com uma reclamação na FIA.

O Grande Prêmio da Itália de 2025 acabou de terminar, mas tremores secundários estão mantendo o mundo da Fórmula 1 ocupado. O diretor da equipe RB, Laurent Mekies, causou comoção ao revelar um segredo notável sobre a mais recente atualização do RB21. Segundo Mekies, a atualização gerou tanta velocidade extra que o carro conseguiu rodar mais rápido em condições de corrida por até 19 segundos do que o McLaren MCL39. A notícia caiu como uma bomba no paddock e levou a McLaren a registrar imediatamente uma queixa oficial junto à FIA.

O RB21 já era alvo de especulações durante o fim de semana em Monza. Vários analistas notaram que o carro atingiu velocidades máximas incomuns, especialmente nas longas retas do circuito. Enquanto outras equipes lutavam para encontrar o equilíbrio entre downforce e velocidade, o RB21 subitamente parecia ter encontrado a combinação perfeita. Mekies confirmou posteriormente que a equipe havia alcançado “um avanço técnico” graças a uma nova filosofia aerodinâmica combinada com componentes inovadores do trem de força. “Trabalhamos duro dentro dos limites do regulamento”, disse ele. “Mas entendo que isso levanta questionamentos.”

Na McLaren, a surpresa rapidamente se transformou em frustração. A equipe de Lando Norris e Oscar Piasstri percebeu como sua estratégia cuidadosamente elaborada parecia não ter efeito algum na velocidade do RB21. De acordo com cálculos internos da McLaren, a diferença de desempenho era tão grande que as pessoas questionam se o RB21 cumpriu integralmente os regulamentos. “Isso vai além de uma atualização normal”, disse um porta-voz. “Queremos esclarecimentos da FIA.”

A FIA confirmou que a reclamação da McLaren foi oficialmente recebida e que a delegação técnica investigará a atualização do RB21. Especificamente, o novo assoalho e a asa traseira, peças suspeitas de proporcionar um benefício extraordinário, estão sendo investigados. Ainda não está claro se houve de fato uma violação.

As opiniões se dividem no paddock. Alguns especialistas elogiam a RB por sua inovação e a veem como um exemplo de como a engenhosidade técnica pode levar a grandes conquistas. Outros temem que tal domínio possa prejudicar o esporte se a atualização parecer estar fora do espírito dos regulamentos. O ex-campeão mundial Damon Hill declarou: “Se isso for legal, a RB tem ouro em suas mãos. Mas se algo der errado, isso pode se transformar em um grande escândalo.”

Por enquanto, as especulações continuam. A RB insiste que tudo correu conforme o regulamento, enquanto a McLaren permanece combativa na tentativa de convencer a FIA do contrário. Enquanto isso, os fãs aguardam ansiosamente o próximo Grande Prêmio em Singapura, onde ficará claro se o RB21 manterá seu misterioso líder ou se a FIA intervirá e a equipe retornará.

O certo é que a estreia de Mekies levará a um campeonato compartilhado. A temporada de 2025 já viu batalhas espetaculares, mas a potencial controvérsia em torno da atualização do RB21 promete ser uma das maiores histórias do ano.
