SThey are the big favorites and everyone knows it. They come from a double in the qualifying session and another in the race. But Red Bull knows that they have a handicap for 2023, a loophole for Aston Martinright now the second in the standings, and the rest of the grid catches them as the campaign progresses.
And Christian Hornerthe director of the energy drink team, has been more restrained in his statements and even shows his chest -“what we lost with the wind tunnel we gained in motivation“, dice, Helmut Markothe consultant, acknowledges the concern about the penalty preventing them from using that facility as much as they would like.
The counselor admits fears at Red Bull. “We prepared in an optimal way for this season. When we knew that this sanction would be imposed, it became clear that the wind tunnel had to be used efficiently. For now, we have succeeded. But of course, as the season progresses and we run out of time in the wind tunnel, the others will still have it available and our advantage will fade. That’s why It is very important that we take the points now“, he stated on formel1.de.
Response to Russell and himself
After Sakhir’s date, Marko was still very hard on him. Mercedes. “The F1 title is out of his reach“, he released on DAZN. One of the pilots of the star brand, George Russell surprised almost agreeing. “I bet Red Bull can win every race this year”, proclaimed the Englishman.
