Oh no, I'm not someone who works at RBR, I'm just a fan.Wouter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:58 am.Eren Jager wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:04 amI don't understand how people think that the RB19 will be better than the RB20.
Need I remind you that we stopped the dev of the RB19 before the summer? That we produced this car with a 'natural' wind tunnel and CFD restriction (P1 constructor) , to which we added the cost cap penalty? And we can add that Max was told 90% of the time "don't go any faster" ("there is no race", remember Bahrain).
I think that the RB19 could go much faster on most circuits and produce even bigger gaps but that the team wanted to hide it (the true potentiel of the RB19) to avoid being slowed down by the FIA.
We've been working 100% on the RB20 since the summer, while our competitors had one foot in 2024 and another in 2023. Every one of our upgrades has worked, and we're so far ahead of our competitors in terms of time, but also in terms of our understanding of the ground effect and our car.
And let's not forget the "Max factor", who is the most dominant driver in history. I definitely think that next year will be even more DOMINANT and I'm personally aiming for a 100% win for Max, at the very least for RedBull (be prepared for the others to say "FIAbull" etc etc )
And last but not least, Eddie Jordan said : " I was with Adrian Newey last night […] and Adrian told me he thinks the evolution of what they have is going to be very difficult for anyone to catch up with.So get ready for some boring or exciting times depending on whether you're a Red Bull fan or not! "
Are you working at RBR? Because you are talking about "we". Do you have more inside info if the answer is "Yes"?
At the Auto Sport forum is an insider from RBR called Sparky.
Joe Saward: "Informed sources suggest that there is a provision in Ricciardo’s contract for him to switch into Red Bull Racing after the early races next year if Sergio Perez does not up his game. I hear that if that happens Daniel’s salary will triple and Liam Lawson will come in to replace him."
That would have required Red Bull to amend his contract, unless he only signed for one year leading up to 2023?organic wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 9:47 amhttps://joesaward.wordpress.com/2023/11 ... abu-dhabi/
Not the best source in the world but interesting

I cannot comprehend why they decided to keep Perez, he was just extremely poor all season. Does he have some technical insight they would rather not get leaked out? I simply can't understand it otherwise.AR3-GP wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 8:45 pmMemories of the season:

Japanese GP qualifying. 6 tenths! A truly crushing display.
It's a racing team, but it's still a business too. Look at the sponsors on the car. Telmex, Walmart, Ford, etc. He has a contract and there is a net benefit for them.Rikhart wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 12:08 amI cannot comprehend why they decided to keep Perez, he was just extremely poor all season.

Exactly! At this moment there is hardly any negative in keeping Perez. Only positives.AR3-GP wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 12:19 amIt's a racing team, but it's still a business too.

There is the "small" negative you pointed out, that I think gifted like 6 months of catch-up to the others. Do you have any idea of what that means?marcel171281 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 9:42 amExactly! At this moment there is hardly any negative in keeping Perez. Only positives.
Positives:
- They are 1 and 2 in the WDCC
- They are 1 in the WCCC
- There is no internal fight where drivers take away valuable points (e.g. 2007)
- Perez brings in sponsors
- Red Bull sells more cans of RB in Central and South America
Negatives:
- Perez crashed and exposed the floor of the RB18 and RB19
