Red Bull's Secret EXPOSED: Banned for 2027?! 👀😨
A floor stay is a small component with a surprisingly large story attached. F1 News - TacticalRab's most watched new upload examines what its description calls a Red Bull aerodynamic loophole: using that support to make a different sidepod architecture possible. The channel reports that the FIA plans to prohibit the approach for 2027.
That technical discussion has reached about 135,000 views. Underneath it, viewers are debating where innovation should end and regulation should begin. Others turn to circuit design, asking why drivers aren't more involved in shaping new tracks. There is even a small musical detour, courtesy of the video's discussion of Africa and V8 engines.
The clips channel posted seven uploads, with Singapore providing much of the week's material. Its coverage follows Max Verstappen's sprint and Grand Prix results, the Lando Norris-Oscar Piastri collision, Mercedes' upgrades and Ferrari's late-race strategy. The Hamilton upload asks what the radio log reveals about the decision that cost Ferrari a potential second podium, rather than leaving the argument at the headline.
The strongest momentum now belongs to a newer upload discussing reports about Fred Vasseur's Ferrari position and Christian Horner's return to the spotlight. Those are reports and rumors, not an announced leadership change.
Across the channel, weekly viewing reached roughly 652,000, while subscribers were unchanged. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby motorsport channels, Duncan Shaw had a particularly substantial viewing week; TacticalRab nevertheless placed fourth for weekly views in this nine-channel group, despite having the smallest subscriber count.

Why don’t they let current drivers assist with new track designs? I’d think they’d design a track better than anyone.
