Red Bull have admitted to bringing a wrong rear wing to the F1 Las Vegas Gr🌳and Prix after enduring a drab Friday.

Mꦗax Verstappen was 17th and Sergio Perez 19th after the first day of practice✤.

Wh🤡ile ꦕRed Bull have been known to up the ante as race weekends progress, they have conceded to making a mistake with an updated part to the RB20.

"We don't have another rear wing, a smaller rear wing, as we see it on ouཧr competitors,” Red Bull’s꧙ Helmut Marko was quoted by .

“It would be more helpful, for sure."

Marko confirmed there was no possibility of flying out a n﷽ew, and better-suited, rear wing overnight ready for Saturday’s qualifying.

He added: "On the short run we didn't go out with a 🦂soft tyre, and the long run was only partly good.

"Some laps were competitive, but then the rear tyܫres were disappearing.

“There were fla♛shes of speed. We just have to get consistency into it.

"We need more 🐬balance. On the single lap we can improve. But on the long run, the tyre wear is a problem at the moment."

However, Marko did have a warning for Mercedes and McLare✱n who were at the top ofꩲ the timesheet on Friday.

“People will be fastest on Friday or Thursday, but it doesn't mean that they are f🔯ast 🌜in the race,” he said.

"We will, for sure, make a reasonable step."

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was fastest on Fridಌay, ahead🉐 of McLaren’s Lando Norris.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen could wra♊p up the F1 championship in Las Vegas.
