Brazil and Abu Dhabi technical review
All the title protagonists kept developing their cars right until the last grand prix at Yas Marina. Gary Anderson takes a look at the key updates that shaped the performances of Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren in that memorable Middle Eastern finale
Right up until the very last race of the 2010 season, there were three teams still principally involved in a tight battle for a world championship title. Unsurprisingly then, Red Bull Racing, Ferrari and McLaren all continued bolting updates to their cars in an attempt to stay the fight until it was either won, or finally lost. An opportunistic Renault squad kept pushing development right to the end too.
AUTOSPORT's technical consultant Gary Anderson takes a look at some of the more critical developments by those teams over the last two races of the season in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
