Red Bull Racing’s motorsport advisor, Helmut Marko, has revealed that the team’s 2023 challenger, the RB19, has been developed to suit both drivers, Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen. The Milton Keynes-based squad is looking to build on its 2022 campaign, where its RB18 had phases where either one or the other driver was happier.
Last year, Perez preferred the car’s understeery characteristics, while Verstappen loved the strong front end. However, as the team reduced the car’s weight and improved its front end, Verstappen became happier with the car.
