The Latest Breaking News from Pierre Wache

In the wake of Red Bull's total domination of F1 in 2023, it is anticipated that its competitors will converge on the concept that the Milton Keynes-based team has put to such good use since the latest ground-effect era started. 

The 2026 engine rules increase the reliance on the electrified part of the hybrid powertrain - it will produce 50% of total power - while the expensive Motor Generator Unit–Heat has been ditched.

One of the most successful engineers in the history of F1, Newey has been a mainstay of Red Bull since he joined in 2006, contributing to the outfit's 13 world titles – seven in the drivers' championship with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen plus six in the constructors'. 

One of Horner's most inspired decisions since setting up Red Bull in 2005 was to sign legendary designer Adrian Newey away from McLaren. Currently Newey still has a big impact on the squad, including mentoring the next generation of technical talent, despite not being involved in the day-to-day design process.

The RB19’s only defeat in the 2023 season came at a venue where those two elements combined with Red Bull making mistakes on its efforts to adjust its ride height settings among its typical event set-up work, which contributed to Carlos Sainz’s win for Ferrari in Singapore.

The Milton Keynes-based squad has produced some eye-opening performances this year thanks to a huge advantage that drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez enjoy when the DRS is open.

In fact, providing Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez aren't derailed by a dose of bad luck over the second half of the season, it could become the first F1 challenger ever to deliver a season clean-sweep.

Newey has been a central figure in Red Bull’s rise from F1 newcomer when it took over the Jaguar team in 2005, to the super team status it achieved in the years following its first race victory in the championship back in 2009.
