Just why has Red Bull been so dominant in F1 this year? Is it its top speed advantage, helped by a powerful DRS? Rivals teams explain one area that has been key to the RB19's sheer pace in 2023.
Red Bull’s domination of Formula 1 this year has prompted plenty of intrigue about just where its sizeable advantage comes from.Much of the focus around the RB19 has revolved around its top speed – and especially the way that its DRS delivers a straight-line advantage that rivals are nowhere near matching.
But while Red Bull’s DRS continues to provoke intrigue, rival teams are far from obsessing over what has been done in this specific area. “I think they're very quick in a straight line just generally. So, from what we see, it is not something that we are looking to try and understand in great detail.” What Red Bull’s rivals are homing in on, though, is the way that the RB19 is able to maintain its aero platform around a lap – which appears to be delivering gains in allowing the car to deliver consistent downforce for the drivers.
“If you think about active suspension, and I'm not saying anybody has it, but if you had active suspension, then you probably win the championship, because you can get the car and you can develop it in a specific position,” he said.
