The key to Red Bull’s speed that F1 rivals missed
- Posted by hudson on Apr 24, 2023
What makes the Red Bull RB19 so dominant? Aerodynamics, right? Well, yes and no. It’s no secret that the Red Bull produces a huge amount of downforce – and remains aero efficient given it’s great straightline speed both with and without DRS, but something else is key to the grip level it produces.
Not convinced? Well, last year in an interview with The Race’s Mark Hughes, Red Bull design legend Adrian Newey made the surprising revelation that his focus was the front and rear suspension.
That’s a hint as to one key aspect that has made both last year’s and this year’s Red Bull so strong. And building on last year’s mechanical platform has helped Red Bull to make a bigger performance step this year than rivals thought possible
