Helmut Marko, Red Bull F1’s motorsports adviser, argues that Scuderia Ferrari doesn’t have to worry regarding Red Bull Racing breaking its budget this year.
Scuderia Ferrari’s F1 team representative Mattia Binotto admits that the rapid development of Red Bull Racing was a surprise at a limited cost following suffering two consecutive losses in Miami.
“If there’s a concern, it’s how they’re developing, given budget limits,” admitted Mattia Binotto.
“That’s definitely a problem.”
In fact, Scuderia Ferrari’s development rate has been significantly lower in 2022 so far, but it is reported that the next round of the Spanish Grand Prix will introduce lighter weight, new floors, reprofiled side pods and other updates. ing.
“It’s clear that we’re taking advantage of Red Bull’s consistent development,” former F1 team representative Gian Carlo Minardi told Italy’s OA Sport.
“Ferrari hasn’t installed any new parts on the car yet,” Gian Carlo Minardi added, adding that the biggest drawback of Ferrari today is that it has “much more” aerodynamic drag.
“They haven’t been very active in ground effect cars either, and they’re suffering from aerodynamic bounces,” continued Gian Carlo Minardi.
“It has a big impact on the tires. I might see it in Miami.”
“Now we need to figure out how effective Ferrari’s solution is.”
Gian Carlo Minardi says that when there is a problem with Red Bull Racing, “aggressive” progress leads to repeated reliability problems, while Ferrari has “no problems other than accidents”. Said.
But now that Red Bull Racing’s budget cap is in the spotlight, the team continues to push development in Barcelona.
“There will be new parts there as well, and they will eventually reach the optimum weight,” Helmut Marko told f1-insider.com.
“So far, it’s well above the minimum weight required of 798kg.”
Helmut Marko told not to worry regarding Mattia Binotto’s concerns regarding Red Bull Racing’s ongoing machine development exceeding budget limits.
“We and Ferrari are on an equal footing,” Helmut Marko insisted.
“We are still looking forward to the Big Fight and have full confidence in the FIA to make sure everything goes well.”
“The difference comes to those who were able to get the most out of the package at each circuit.”
