Mercedes' James Allison believes F1 rivals Red Bull may have taken a step backwards with a recent upgrade.

technical director James Allison has suggested Red Bull ’s recent struggles may be the result of an upgrade package that has not worked.

"My guess is that as soon as there's a decent range of cornering speeds, they will be useful again," Allison told media including ESPN in Montreal."But it does look as if their upgrade was a downgrade, so fingers crossed that will really f*** them up. Asked if seeing the championship leaders struggle excited Mercedes, Allison responded: “Everyone always loves other people's misery in this game.”
