MONACO : Formula One rivals hope to discover some of dominant Red Bull's most closely guarded secrets from photographs of the underside of Sergio Perez's car after it was craned off the Monaco Grand Prix circuit.
It is also the hardest part for rival teams to get a glimpse of, unless a car overturns or is lifted into the air - as Perez's was after the Mexican crashed into barriers in Saturday qualifying. "With these regulations, the most important bit is the bit you don’t normally get to see," Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin told reporters on Sunday.
Mercedes also had Lewis Hamilton's newly-upgraded car hoisted high into the air, giving a good view of the underside, but Shovlin said Red Bull - winners of every race this season with four one-two finishes - would be more annoyed.
