Despite having won two of the last three races, Red Bull has still shown signs of evident difficulty over the course of the last few rounds. Especially from Imola onwards, the growth of the opponents (McLaren and Ferrari above all) has been exponential and has contributed to forming several question marks in the minds of the men from Milton Keynes. Furthermore, in Canada Mercedes also joined the party, showing signs of awakening with pole position and the first podium of the season.
The team captained by Christian Horner is no longer sleeping very peacefully as it no longer has the sensational advantage it enjoyed for the entire duration of last season on its side but, on the contrary, it feels its opponents breathing down their necks as they are gradually reducing the gap. Also and above all for this reason, Red Bull on the day of Wednesday was located at Imola for a session private tests. He was behind the wheel Max Verstappen in the company of RB18the 2022 single-seater. According to what was reported by the Dutch media De Telegraafthe goal was to compare the differences (positive and negative) with this year’s car. It is no coincidence that the choice of venue fell on Imola, since Santerno is the track where the RB20 showed the first signs of difficulty.
