Red Bull Raises 2023 Beast Out of $7 Million Ashes as Latest Reports Sound Alarm Bells for Mercedes & Ferrari

Formula 1 is a technological rat race. And the hand dealt out to Red Bull by the FIA may have seemingly spelled an end to their dominant streak in the sport. However, if the reports that are emerging are to be believed, then the worst fears of Mercedes and Ferrari might be coming true.

The FIA has handed Red Bull a $7 million fine coupled with a 10% reduction in their aero testing time for 2023. This comes in light of the Milton-Keynes-based outfit being found guilty of breaching the budget cap. But according to AMuS, the damage is already done.

Mercedes and Ferrari feared that the penalty dished out by the FIA would have no bearing on the Bulls. As it turns out, Red Bull might not even be affected by the testing penalty. AMuS suggested, “The RB18 developed into a great all-rounder. It should continue in this style in 2023. The successor, the RB19, should be an even better racing car thanks to its good genes.

“Red Bull is pursuing an evolution with its concept.” [translated via Google]

Red Bull might have the best car on the grid in 2023, however, its sister team is no longer insistent on depending on Red Bull to shape their design philosophy.

AlphaTauri might cut ties with Red Bull in 2023 to forge its own path in F1

You’d imagine that the position that AlphaTauri finds itself in, in F1, being Red Bull’s sister team, would be the biggest advantage that this sport has ever seen. That being said, as things stand, AlphaTauri wants to take no new car parts off of possibly the best car on the grid, come 2023.

The symbiotic developmental relationship that the Faenza-based team shares with the Bulls should come to an end in 2023 as per their Chief Engineer, Jonathan Eddolls. He told AMuS, “We like to define our aerodynamics based on certain parts underneath it. But if we take components from them, we don’t get information about the final design until very late.”

“That can then in turn influence our aerodynamics because we work with others’ calculated shapes.”
