Red Bull's prospects for 2023 are already hugely promising after starting the season with back-to-back wins, leading some to suggest the RB19 may be the fastest Formula 1 car ever built.
Sergio Perez won Sunday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from pole, while Max Verstappen climbed from 15th to second and made it a second one-two in as many races. But it was the manner in which Verstappen moved through the field that caught the attention of fans and pundits alike in Jeddah.
Specifically, Martin Brundle couldn't quite believe what he was witnessing as Verstappen overtook George Russell, audibly incredulous as to how the two were so far apart in speed. Mercedes ' W14 looked like it was driving through treacle down the straight when compared with the RB19, which looks a great deal quicker than any other contender as things stand.
