This season, more teams seem to be leaning towards the Red Bull design, given the team’s success in 2022, where they claimed both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships with 17 wins out of 22 races. Red Bull has continued their dominance, winning all five races so far, while Aston Martin, dubbed the “third” Red Bull by Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, currently sits second in the championship with four podium finishes.
In contrast, Mercedes and Ferrari have adhered to their own concepts, which appears to have hampered their performance. The two teams have collectively achieved only two podium finishes, prompting speculation that they may be considering a shift towards the Red Bull approach.
