Adrian Newey believes Red Bull’s upgrad𓆏e package for the Japanese Grand Prix was a “small step forward” in performance - but thinks they’d probably have won at Suzuka without them.

Red Bull claimed their third 1-2 finish of the year with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen winning ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz was the closest non-Red Bull car in third, finishing over 20 second𝕴s off the lea🍬d.

It continues Red Bull’s ridiculous run of form, stretching back to the 2༺022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Since then, Red Bull have failed to win just t💜wo races - Singapore 2023 and Australia 2024 - in an unprecedented period of dominance.

Speaking to Ted Kravitz at Suzuka, Newey🧸 - who is Red Bull’s design guru - gave some insight into Red Bull’s latest upgrades.

“Well we know what performance it theoretically gave,” Newey said. “As far as we can see from the pressure sens♐ors and load cells then it delivered what it said on the tin from the wind tunnel.

“It was a small step forward. I think this weekend we’d probably have been OK a🃏nyway. We all know it’s going to tighten up so we just keep pushing.”

After a dominant 2023 campaign, many expected Red Bull to proꦑduce a 💧similar looking car.

Howev🍃er, they shocked everyone during🌊 launch season by unveiling a more aggressive car - a path their rivals haven’t gone down.

Newey feels that the RB20 is a “more extreme version” of the 2022 car w🌺hich was introduced at the start of the current technical regulations.

“It’s a credit to all the guys back at the factory honestly. We have got a tremendous team of engineers. That spreads to the whole organisation. Their enthusiasm, drive and creativity iꦐs what you see here before you. The architecture of the car has stayed very similar, a third generation since 2022. 

“The aero principals which you now see on t꧑his year’s car compared to last year is a route we were taking really since early 2022. It’s just a more extreme version or rou🥂te down that same path.”
