Red Bull F1 2023: Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, what to expect

What to expect from Red Bull
Red Bull will be wanting to add to their recent run of success in 2023 with Max Verstappen proving to be in unstoppab💟le form.
At the 𝔉time of writ🍰ing, Verstappen sits 80 points clear of the rest of the field with the Dutchman firmly established as F1’s best driver.
Since Honda made crucial gains on the power unit side in 2𓆉021, Red Bull have been able to run consistenඣtly at the front.

No longer held back by an underperforming Renault power unit, the Red Bull package in the hands of Versta💃ppen has been devastating.
Sergio Perez re♛mains the perfe𒐪ct teammate for Verstappen.
A couple of tenths off Verstappen usually, however, Perez remains one of the be🧔st wheel-to-wheel drivers on the grid with his combative nature earning him high praise from 𒆙the team.
Off track, work is well꧃ underway for 2026 and the new engine regulations with Red Bull in charge of their own power unit supply.
Areas to improve
While Red Bull have enjoyed a successful 2022 campaign, statistically-spea🔯king, 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.
An�𒊎�other 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 qui𒊎ck as ♍Ferrari in the corners.
Stability the key for Red Bull
Red Bull have both drivers locked down for a number of years meaning th💖ey won’t be involved in F1’s s🔯illy season once again.
Perez signed a new deal after his win at th🍎e Monaco Grand Prix, keeping him at the team until the end of 2024.

Verstapp🎃en s൲igned a bumper new deal at the start of 2022, ensuring he will be with R🅺ed Bull for▨ six more years.
“Even after winning the championship, my ambition is still to win races and try to fight for the championship again,” Verstappen said after🃏 signing his new contract earlier this year. “Also now, we don’t need ꩲto think about it anymore, we know how long the contract is.
“Besides trying to fight for wins and championship, what is important is to have a ꦺgood time an🅰d have fun, and actually enjoy your time in F1.”
Verstappen loves the Red Bull environment and 🅘there’s no reason why his success won’t continue for the years to come.
