The rivals are hot on the RB20
“We will be making improvements to the car and the data is promising“. As Helmut Marko commenting on the Canadian GP, he underlined that he was not overly worried about the growth of Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes, teams that are catching up in terms of performance against Red Bull.
The RB20 has won six out of nine races, but the Max Verstappen factor is evident. The victories were all signed by the Dutchman (Sergio Perez won two races in the first four stages of 2023) and Checo, after a convincing start to the season, is disappeared from the radar gaining four points in the last three races. It is no coincidence that the Milton Keynes team took to the track with Verstappen two days ago in Imola with the 2022 RB18 with the aim of highlighting what is not working properly on the RB20.
As reported by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf the next package of important innovations developed in Milton Keynes by Red Bull will be ready for Silverstone. The updates in question should even be ‘visible’ to the eye given that they should change the shapes of the RB20 in some points. In Barcelona this weekend the news will be marginal. Confirmation will arrive this morning when the FIA will issue the usual list of updates brought by the 10 teams at the start in F1.
