Red Bull has the fastest car on the 2023 F1 grid, but what are the key strenghts of the RB19 package? We look at the the GPS data from the opening three races and analyse where exactly has Red Bull been gaining on its rivals.
having the pace to leapfrog Verstappen at the start of the Australian GP, while Hamilton underlined a far more competitive showing for the Three-Pointed Star in second. Although Mercedes said it realised even prior to testing that a new direction was required and the updated parts are already being validated in the wind tunnel, they will not debut on the car until at least the Emilia Romagna GP and even then, onlookers should not be expecting a “miracle” turnaround.
In the first instance, that marks a major departure from how Red Bull fared last season, when the rebadged Honda engine couldn’t immediately overcome the heavy chassis and was oft out-accelerated by the lightweight Ferrari only to eventually have the legs at top speed.The second thing to note is how different the RB19 performed in Saudi. There, with the potent Red Bull exploitation of DRS, it was Perez lighting up the speed traps.
In the race, once cylinder failure had eliminated Russell to leave Hamilton to give chase, Verstappen enjoyed an advantage of 0.162s per lap over Hamilton across an uninterrupted 34-tour stint between laps 20 and 53. That does not consider Verstappen easing up to preserve tyres and in the name of reliability.
