Red Bull in F1 remains the team to beat even in North America. We have in fact reached the week that leads us to Grand Prix of the Canada in the wonderful setting of Montreal. We can say, without any doubt, that since time immemorial there has not been as much anticipation for the next race as in back to back Imola-Monacothe stable of Milton Keynes seems to have returned to planet earth. The key to understanding could be complementary, that is, that the Scuderia Ferrari and the McLaren have entered the performance category which until recently included only Austrian single-seaters.
Regardless of such conjectures the conclusion is the same: it appears that three team can take turns playing for the victory of the remaining seasonal matches and this can only be wonderful news for the F1. TO Imola even if he was “short-faced” he triumphed once again Verstappen And Montecarlo it is an atypical path where the values are different. However, the balance of power is changing. At this turn the concerns of the men directed by Christian Horner they are not cloying or pre-tactical products of the certainty of being clearly superior.
This time the competition for Red Bull it is close if not higher in certain circuits and/or in some circumstances. Verstappen so far he has confirmed that he is the boost of a team in which the co-driver once again demonstrates his inability to drive over the problems. In the weekend Of Monk Pierre Wachétechnical director of the reigning world champion team, through the official channels of F1 provided some food for thought on the activities carried out and those in “progress” aimed at the next seasons.
F1, Red Bull has not slowed down its plans following Newey’s departure.
In relation to the current season, Pierre revealed that the development of the single-seater will continue, although some updates that debuted between have been implemented Japan And Imola. Upgrades on the Red Bull RB20 not very visible from the outside, difficult to find, but they have been evaluated based on what was analyzed on the track using the technologies supplied with the team flying the Austrian flag. The manager French has macroscopically indicated the areas of intervention: modifications to the bottom, the rear brake duct and the front wing.
The climate in which the team had to operate was not the simplest. The early farewell of Adrian Newey certainly surprised the collaborators who grew up in Red Bullunder the protective wing of the brilliant English designer, but Waché he ruled out that his team would be destabilized by such an important loss. According to the manager of the Austrian team, the technical group is completely absorbed by the activities on the single-seater and consequently on the performance that they intend to achieve. Like others team this is a phase of the season on which we are working along three lines.
Project development Red Bull RB20, concept of next year’s single-seater and study of the engines for the great technical revolution expected in 2026. Basically, three single-seaters F1 on which profound efforts. Regarding the farewell of Newey it was experienced as if many people in his magic circle had left. Nonetheless, the team is strongly focused on the large amount of work, also because of the new regulations 2026 they are in fact now just around the corner and we will be able to start studying the new paradigms in six months.
F1, The future of Red Bull without Newey and the challenge imposed by the 2026 regulations.
For the French engineer the starting point is the consolidation of the regulatory body. When there are major regulatory changes, speed in identifying the most profitable aerodynamic philosophy is the winning weapon. Waché he explained that one of the success factors is the ability to anticipate problems that could arise with the new technical regulation. Based on what was decided by FIA the team they will be able to work freely on the project 2026 only at the beginning of next year, in order to avoid a team dominant could begin the design of new cars well in advance.
At the same time, the new architecture of power unit 2026 it stands out as an equally complex challenge, but which according to the coach from beyond the Alps seems promising at the moment. One of the skills required of manager who manage such complex structures, in fact it is the mere management of human resources and not on different programs, trying to balance the effort on what the various distinct projects are in all respects: 2024, 2025 And 2026. In short, a lot of work for a team of F1 convinced of her own means that she thinks she can continue her path to yours in the top category.
