Steve Brodie, the head of the department, was interviewed by De Limburger. He spoke about how the Milton Keynes-based team has developed over the years given that they were not originally a car manufacturer. He stated that Mercedes’ dominance came through their experience building engines while Red Bull was originally making energy drinks. He said,
He also said that the team believes in complete perfection:
The Austrian outfit partnered with Honda to produce their engine for a couple of seasons (after ending their partnership with Renault following the 2018 season). However, after the manufacturer left the sport post the 2021 season, the team was dependent on themselves to develop their powertrains.
Since then, their development goal has been 2026, when the new engine regulations will be implemented in the sport.
Red Bull confident in themselves with Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen had a stunning season in 2022 as he clinched his second consecutive championship victory. With his and Sergio Perez’s fantastic performances on the track, the team won their first constructor’s title since 2013. Even though Verstappen was almost unbeatable last season, the team expects him to improve further. F1 quoted their engineer Paul Monaghan,
Verstappen has a contract with the team until the end of the 2028 season. This might see yet another Bull dominance era. Nonetheless, Mercedes and Ferrari are on the chase to bring back glory to their teams as well.
