One of the defining advantages that Red Bull had as it marched on to the 2022 Formula 1 championship double was its edge in top speed. Time and again Max Verstappen’s rivals knew that they would be sitting ducks if that Red Bull managed to hook itself up behind them before a straight.
After years where top speed had been Red Bull’s Achilles heel, the way the RB18 was so strong in that area this year proved a critical element in many of the great drives we witnessed.
