Red Bull were already suffering a handicap on aero testing time because of their top of the table spot in the championship when the annual snap shot is taken. The penalty was for breaching the cost cap limit back in 2021 by what was finally agreed to be a mere 0.37% overspend. A penalty of 10% reduction in aerodynamic testing hit Reed Bull just as they were about to enter the final testing phase towards the end of the 2022 season and into the busy winter months. Yet the RB19 was birthed during difficult times for the world champion racing team. Its not just the historic records the RB19 in the hands of Max Verstappen has smashed which make it impressive, it is the persistent margin of 20-30 seconds gap to the rest of the field during a vats array of different Grand Prix circuit layouts which has impressed F1 engineers up and down the paddock alike. With just two races remaining of the 2023 season, try yet be the case that the RB19 is the most dominant F1 car ever built and annoying for its creators but for one inexplicable blip in Singapore the 2023 Red Bull F1 car could have made a clean sweep of the 22 events held this year. The RB19 is one of – if not THE – most successful F1 cars ever designed.
