"But I really pat Red Bull on the back for doing a great job in styling the car because what they did was take away what the Strategy Group had asked for and they really styled it."
Symonds reckons because of Red Bull's input, they deserve to be credited for it. Because of them, the cars will now look better and possibly, could become more testing for the drivers' to drive them. Which will mean driver skill will influence race results.
"They started with this premise that we want the car to look like it's going fast even when it's stationary and I thought yeah, that's a really nice way of expressing it".
