Helmut Marko warns F1 rivals: Cost cap penalty won’t force Red Bull to “sacrifice” 2024 car
Red Bull were hit꧙ with a 10 per cent reduction in aero testing following their breach of F1’s financial reg🐼ulations in 2021.
This will mean Mercedes, for example, will have around 25 per cent more wind tunnel time than Red Bull for much of this se♑ason.
It could prove to be inconsequential given Red Bull’s dominant start to F1 2023 in Bahrain, with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez finishing 1-2.
Their reduction in wind tunnel timeꦆ could have an impact on their 2024 project - the RB20 - given that they’ll be trying to develop this and next year’s car at the same time.
However, Marko has downplayed tꦛhe impact of it, with Red Bull factoring the penalty into how they have developed the RB19.
. "And I think we succeeded if we judge the result ꦅtoday [in Bahrai🎶n].“The penalty was announced to us relatively early. In 💫Singapore, it crystallised and we knew it was go༒ing to cost us dearly.
“So, quite early on, we focused on evolving and optimising what may not have been ideal on the old car like losing weight. And if w🎶e brought something to test in the wind tunnel, it should work the first time ideally.
“We owe all this to a core in the team that has been working together for 15 years, they know𓂃 what, how, they are in tune with each other.
“Of course, we have a genius in Adrian Newey, but the team is also composed of h🌳ighly qualified and intelligent people.”
