No longer held back by an underperforming Renault power unit, the Red Bull package in the handꦍs of Verstappen has be🍰en devastating. 

Se🔥rgio Perez remains the perfect teammate for Verstappen.

A couple of tenths off Verstappen usually, however, Perez remains one of the best wheel-to-wheel drivers on the grid witওh his combat꧒ive nature earning him high praise from the team.

Off track, work is well underway for 2026 and the new engine regu🌺lations with Red Bull in ✨charge of their own power unit supply. 

Areas to improve

While Red Bull have enjoyed a successful 2022 campaigꦰn, statistica🎐lly-speaking, they haven’t had the fastest car.

Ferrari, particularly over one-lap, have held the advantage, while Red Bull have been more competitive on🤪 race day while making the most of poor strategy decisions from the Italian manufacturer.

Another area Red Bull will look to improve in is its general performance at high🔯 downforce circuits.

Slippery on the straights, Red Bull aren’t as quiꦿck as Ferrari in the corners.

Stability the key for Red Bull

Red Bull have both drivers locked down for a number of years meanin🍃g they won’t be involved in F1’s silly season once again.

Perez signed a new deal after his wi�ꦓ�n at the Monaco Grand Prix, keeping him at the team until the end of 2024.
