Red Bull. The team to beat. It has been for a long time. Since 2022, especially, when they dominated a World Cup with virtually no opposition in which everything had already been decided in Japan. And they continue to be so in 2023. They are so despite that FIA sanction for exceeding the budget limit two seasons ago… one that many see as quite poor and scarce.
Because it is not being noticed, and to know if it is going to be noticed. Because, according to what they say, the punishment received is insufficient for what they could earn or obtain for breaking the rules. Ferrari, through Fred Vasseur, have joined that vision. Because the boss of the ‘Scuderia’ has it very clear.
“If you ask me about the sanction I tell you yes, that It’s too light” He affirmed emphatically in words with various media.
But he qualifies: “Yes, they did a great job with the car. I’m not trying to make excuses, not at all.”
“The sanction is marginal. If we improve the car in a little less than a second and penalize a tenth of this, it is a loss of 0.1 seconds,” he insisted.
for now they are being unstoppable for the rest of the teams. Aston Martinwith Fernando Alonsois the one who has put them in the most trouble, with Mercedes adding a podium in Australia thanks to Lewis Hamilton… and with Ferrari in trouble.
