In Formula 1, Red Bull Racing’s remarkable dominance over the past two seasons has been a force to be reckoned with. They have secured victory in 35 of the last 41 Grands Prix, along with back-to-back championship doubles. In stark contrast, Mercedes, once the unrivaled powerhouse, has managed only a solitary race win and now finds itself locked in a fierce battle with Ferrari for the runner-up position in the standings, while Red Bull soars into the distance.
The situation becomes even more daunting when considering that Red Bull has a potential head start for the 2024 season. Their consistent success has afforded them the luxury of commencing work on their 2024 car earlier than their competitors. Furthermore, the budget cap penalty, imposed on Red Bull on October 26 last season, has now expired, enabling them to fully utilize their ATR (Additional Technical Resource) allowance.
