  • The Red Bull so far in the 2023 F1 season has been seriously quick, and Lewis Hamilton even said he thinks they're still holding back their true pace. We take a look at why the car is so much quicker than the rest of the field.

      I am sorry to say this to all of you sports fans but if Gareth Bale truly doesn't watch the "F1 Sport" after the Abu Dhabi debacle in 2021 how can any true f1 fan do so? Think about it if f1's then Race Director could influence & manipulate an entire season by doing exactly what Redbull " asked " or ordered him to do INFRONT of watching fans, how the hell are we to believe that Max is actually winning fair and square behind the scenes? I mean teams are expected to adhere to a specific budget. Maybe Redbull have again surpassed it, maybe even Max Versappen gets a new engine every race which is illegal . Maybe his car is better than Perez. I mean maybe Perez car has been fuelled more and hence maybe this is why he is slower. They could have even added extra weight to make his car slower, think about it Maxes car is so good he is leading the constructors by himself. I mean F1 has all these restrictions to promote closer teams and races however, if all the rules apply to everyone but Max, you will end up with what we are witnessing today. If f1 did it once in front of everyone, they can do it again, and do so much more when we are not watching.

    I think Redbull advantage is they figured out the ground effects very early on. This allowed them to start refining their car in the middle of last year, while everyone else is still working on getting the aero to work right. Auston Martin is the only team that has also got the aero to a well balanced place and just needs to start refining it. Redbull is a year ahead of most teams in terms of car development and it shows in its pace.

Really don't understand why everyone was seemingly caught off guard about RB's explosive dominance from last year on. It was pretty obvious they would hit the ground running in '22 and everyone laughed when I said RB was going to be the new Merc once ground effect was confirmed by the FIA to be coming back.

    I think it is a mix of things. For years Red Bull had to get more from a car with a weaker engine(I see you Cyril) and always got so much from aero/chassis. Mercedes on the other hand had the dominate engine and maybe focused more on power gains. Once the engines were frozen right at a point where Red Bull's engine was at a equal playing field(Adjusts tin foil hat) Red Bull were always going to have a big advantage.

    Not only do they have Adrian Newey. Red Bull didn't just look into the future with their car design. Adrian Newey is sophisticated and humble enough to ask himself what can be taken from the past. When you put the Red Bull besides other cars on the grid, it's quite clear there are elements of old and new which RBR have adopted and others have failed to look back and learn from. Ground effects are a tricky matter, and reducing weight in regulations like this is exceptionally important. Look at the RBR, compare it to some of the fastest formula ground effect cars. It may not jump out but Adrian Newey has genuinely constructed a friggin masterpiece. I see so many elements of the fastest cars from the Eras of Formula One revolutionized and modernized in this car. It's gorgeous. Not to mention right now Honda go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. All Max has to do is change engine mode, slap down more power/ERS and he's six tenths ahead in quali. We just need the rest of the pack to figure out whatever phenomena Adrian was already aware of. Well, that and for Merc to get rid of those awful sidepods. (Yes, I know all the complications with that, I just hate the design and I actually like the Silver Arrows, too.)

      The dominance is absurd though, lets call RBR genius of aerodynamics but the down-force and straight speed is insane given the engine power are neck and neck between each other. RBR is either cheating in someway or they figure out the secret sauce for aero and down force with the current F1 rules and regulation. I mean Ashton Martin is only scratching the surface with the RBR aero design and they already out pace Merc and Ferrari... I think its the philosophy of RBR, Ferrari and Merc, the fastest teams all gamble on their aero designs and RBR completely won while Merc is losing the most... If Ferrari and Merc were to stick with RBR aero concept they might have close the gap this years but both team were stubborn and prideful with their philosophy, it just didn't pan out.

    Red Bull already started miles ahead of the others this season. Their only challenge was the weight of the car. And it looks like they've done it this time around. Just the fact that they have a lighter car this year means they're faster from the get go. I'm pretty sure despite their reduced wind tunnel time, they knew what needed to be tested instead of throwing ideas at a wall like the rest and they've done some meaningful improvements in aero too. If you recall towards the end of last season, Red Bull had already secured this dominant position with RB 18 where the car just massages the tires way better than anyone else in the grid making it possible for them to use the soft tire on a medium tire stint. It's not too hard to believe that they are doing so well this season because again, the package is lighter than last year, has even less drag, and has so much down force when needed so that the tires seem to be having the best time ever. If you listened to Fernando's radio from Jeddah, he kept saying that the tire deg is good (AMR23 being quite a bit like the RB18 concept)

    They had the best start point, last years car was the class of the field. Talented staff can work better and faster than others, they have very talented staff who car get higher outputs from less inputs than others., which can negate to an extent the reduced tunnel time.
    They also have newey and max who would both walk into any team on the grid.
    Their direct competitors have not developed as they should.

    They got a hold of porpoising before every other team last year. This led to them being strong on the straights and braking zones last year. Now, they seem to have amazing Ground Effect downforce and not a whole lot of drag, whereas other teams have really screwed up their design by focusing mostly on the wings. On top of that, the DRS advantage Red bull has is perfectly legal. It opens up the same amount as everyone else. However, it is stalling more of the aerodynamics that creates drag than other cars. Martin Brundle explained this perfectly over the Saudi GP weekend.

    RB's relative pace advantage isn't yet up to the average 2014-16 Mercedes levels that were, on average, from over a second to around 1.5 seconds per lap over the next-fastest teams.
    However, I doubt they'll win every race, as reliability issues will most certainly strike them occasionally or some other mishaps.
    Lastly, to be precise, the wind tunnel-CFD time allocations change every six months on January 1 & July 1 rather than only the former, meaning the present reverse order from last season's final WCC standings remains effective until June-end.
    Therefore, the post-Canadian GP constructor standings determine this year's latter half allocations like last year, with the Canadian GP again being the final race before the mid-year point.

    Let us remember that these regulations first were scheduled to start in 2021 and was delayed a year because of some flu epidemic. So work on this concept started well over 3 years ago. RB/Newey clearly were on the right track with their concept from the get go, where others only started looking into the RB concept probably a year ago at testing. The understanding RB has gained over their concept is not something the other teams can simply conjure up. They copy the design or elements of it and the understanding only starts there. The reduction in testing will allow the others to catch up a little, but 3 years of research on a concept isn't going to evaporate.

    Simple facts:
    1. Their team worked harder than others or had better ideas than others and implemented them to near perfection.
    2. If a team is dominant in the very first of the new regulation season, they're bound to be competitive the next season too and can improve further since they have a headstart on others trying to catch up.

    Remember that Red Bull's roots are in Sim Racing. Maybe they've got a virtual wind tunnel and a digital twin car to work on, then all they need to do is confirm in the wind tunnel.
    Another commenter said that Red Bull solved their aero early, and built the car around that. I agree. Solving the right problem early on has knock on effects.
    Also, the reduced wind tunnel time may have put them in a position where they needed to take a big risk, and that risk paid off. They tried something the other teams weren't willing to try and I think that is the edge.

    This just proves the amount of time spent on development means less than understanding what you are doing.. Red Bull obviously has a (much) better understanding of these new cars and their groundeffect etc than anyone else right now and doesn't need as much time to figure things out and improve the car.. The RB19 probably is one the all time great F1 cars, another Newey masterpiece.. Their lead is so big now (over a second a lap faster than the 2nd best car in race trim) that they might keep this lead all the way until 2026 despite less development time.. In 2026 we get completely new engines and the balance between teams probably shifts again..

    Yesterday at Monza for example RB was not the fastest on the straights - it lacked top speed and the DRS effect wasn't so much crucial in Monza. RB19 is overall all aspect a very good car that adapts well to all circuits while other teams has developed cars that maybe excel (even over Redbull) for some particular situations. Plus the tyre wear is always the greatest advantage they have compared to other teams. In qualifying laps for example Ferrari has been very close if not faster in more than one occasion.

Is there something fishy about RB19? (With all respect to genius Newey, race strategy, error free flawless driving by Max, great tyre management by Checo etc.) What is the thing he found which others are unable to? I think till 2026 RB will be as dominant as it is currently.

    As far as I can see, The Merc was far more dominant than Redbull in the turbo hybrid era... That too Mercedes dominated in that era when there is no costcap or windtunnel, CFD restrictions.
    Merc was faster because they threw as much money as they can on it and stuck a super talented driver like SLH in it .. and they dominated.
    The Rocketship Engine of Mercedes in Brazil 2021 is lot more powerful than RB19 in 2023...
    And interestingly, as soon as new regulations hit and costcap was imposed they lost all of their performance.
    Whereas Redbull developed over the years during the Mercedes dominant era and successfully chased Mercedes to an even fight in 2021 even with the costcap (with additional 200,000 ofc.. which in itself is pennies compared to the amount of resources Mercedes put in it's car during 2015-2020 and amount of dominance Mercedes had). That itself changed my mind of hating Redbull to actually appreciating their tenacity as a team (ofc I still don't have much impression for the management).
    And in 2022, after the regulation changes, Redbull have developed their car concept based on the expertise of Adrian newey in groundeffect era, and he mainly contributed to the suspension of the car in 2022... In Which he did a brilliant job, as RB18 was the only car which was performing at high level irrespective of the right height restrictions and super efficient downforce generation.
    And not to forget Max... (irrespective of my own reservations) he has to be given the credit for pushing the Redbull to it's limits and making it as dominant as it has been, similar to what Lewis has done outperforming his machinery throughout his dominant era.
    After 2022, Redbull later carried on the almost same design to 2023 with little fine tuning here and there... And adding the weight reduction that they've done at the end of 2022 on top of it, the 2022 car which is already faster without the weight reduction has increased speed even further... And they took a little different approach in the first 2 races of the season where they chose higher downforce and (therefore drag) ... As their car is lighter and can afford to carry more downforce and still be fast.
    However this performance gain is not as drastic as everyone is thinking...
    But that said, only the lower teams in the rest of the grid (AlphaRomeo, Aston, AlphaTauri, Haas, Alphine and Williams) have improved drastically than last year, but the top teams of 2022 didn't improve much in comparison.
    Mercedes actually fell back in a way... And Ferrari is gained a little bit top speed at the cost of downforce but still retained its reliability issues and McLaren is the most unfortunate.
    So the other teams in the same league as Redbull didn't improve much from 2022 and Redbull most probably has just cut down additional weight compared to last year.
    So, this is the reason Redbull looks as dominant as it is in 2023... But in actuality Redbull didn't improve drastically from last season, but they've just polished things here and there.
    Ofc due to the wind tunnel restrictions, Redbull might lag in the in-season development and other teams hopefully develop in the right direction... So, nothing is fishy that Redbull looks dominant, but Redbull has just took the right decisions and did what is necessary, where as other top teams screwed up in their decision-making process and went in the wrong direction.
    That's what it looks like objectively.
    Coming to Aston Martin, what everyone is saying that it's a Redbull copy is totally BS.
    Aston Martin's sidepods are more inspired by the Ferrari's wide sidepods for drag reduction and Aston Martin's ingenious idea of the valleys inside the ferrari-like sidepod walls... To improve the airflow to the beam wing. It's rear suspension, exhaust housing shoulder, everything is Mercedes inspired. Only the sidepod undercut is similar to Redbull.
    McLaren is more Redbull inspired than any other team. They have almost same sidepods as Redbull and same pull rod suspension at the front both in 2022 and 2023.
    But people just don't want to give credit to brilliant engineers at Aston and they just make it seem so simple as staff moved so they excelled at it by copying... That's now how it works. Aston is the same team who made successful backmarker cars capable of podiums manytimes in the Force India and Racing point days. ..
    People should respect the effort of the engineers and not just put tags on their efforts.
    All that aside, I'm really happy for Alonso. I've been cheering for him since 2012 and even before.. and this year is a great year for his fans.
    Aston has made it... They made a competitive car which can compete with Redbull in highdown force tracks and in quali, and also in tire management.
    Let's hope they shed more drag during the year and make it even better.
    Ferrari has been competitive with Redbull in 2022 and even in Bahrain 2023 and if not for reliability, they can go toe to toe .. but in 2023 for some reason they seem to lack pace ... I hope they recover and give Leclerc and Carlos a chance to compete at the top.
    I hope Mercedes gives George the car he deserves instead of Toto whining, putting up dramatics and blaming everyone all the time..
    Let's hope this season turns out intersting!
    PS: My prediction during 2021 that Gasly must go to Alphine as it is the ideal place he can shine came true . . . It's actually looking positive for him in the Alphine this year in 2023.. I'm happy to see this...
