How Red Bull made its most complete F1 car yet

Red Bull’s RB19 is undefeated this year in the hands of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, leading to rivals predicting it will win every Formula 1 race in 2023. An evolution on the already mighty RB18, while it isn’t impossible for the rest of the pack to catch up, Red Bull’s latest effort stands out from the herd and will remain a tough challenge to beat

Those hoping for a modicum of convergence in the second year of Formula 1’s new technical package, and a more competitive title battle after Red Bull grew in strength throughout 2022, will have been left slightly disappointed by 2023’s opening races.

Relative to its early position as a thorn in Red Bull’s side at the start of last year, Ferrari appears to have regressed. Mercedes appears slightly closer to the sharpest end of the F1 grid but has already lost faith in its W14, and it’s been left to the upwardly mobile Aston Martin to offer the closest challenge to the 2022 title winners.
