Otmar Szafnauer says Red Bull's punishment 'fits the crime'

Otmar Szafnauer believes Red Bull’s budget cap punishment “fits the crime” and wanted to see the sport move on from the saga. “If we’re a half kilogram underweight on track we’re excluded from that particular race so I believe the punishment is a good one. I’m happy that both the FIA and Red Bull have come to their conclusion. They’re happy to move forward and so are we.”It was then put to the Romanian-American that Red Bull had not issued a public apology but he said he was not too interested in that. It’s about having the punishment fit the crime and moving forward.”Szafnauer also provided an insider’s perspective as to how much the wind tunnel time reduction would affect Red Bull and he said that while it was “not insignificant” it will not be crippling.

'Lewis Hamilton's scruffy season shouldn't take away from Russell's achievements'

Beating Lewis Hamilton in his first season as a Mercedes driver was an “unbelievable achievement” for George Russell, according to Nico Rosberg. Russell stepped into the second Mercedes this season, the Mercedes junior promoted after three seasons running at the back of the field with Williams. “Lewis is still at his very best so to beat Lewis is just an unbelievable achievement. “That is a whole different story to when you are managing drivers fighting for race win after race win, or even a championship. Leading the race, Russell asked his engineer “are we racing or are we protecting the one-two” to be told they are “allowed to race”.

George Russell admits Mercedes are 'behind' Red Bull but backs development plan

George Russell has admitted that Mercedes look off the pace but have backed his team to make that up over the course of the season. Mercedes finished P13 and P15 on the second day of testing in Bahrain with Russell seeing his time in the car cut short due to a hydraulics issue. As such, Russell admitted that the team looked as if they were “behind” Red Bull but were confident that Mercedes would be able to make up that time as the season progressed. “I think this team has a history of being very good at development throughout a season. “So if I had to tell you right here, right now how it is probably going to pan out next week, I reckon we are going to be a little bit behind Red Bull.

2023 F1 testing is here, and that means we got to see all 10 challengers for the new campaign out there on the track. So, let’s take a look at the 10 challengers which will contest the F1 2023 season…Red BullRed Bull were one of the teams that opted for a livery reveal only with their F1 2023 challenger, so there was great intrigue when the covers came off and the real RB19 hit the track.

With many expecting the RB19, W14 and Ferrari SF-23 to combine to create a three-way title battle in F1 2023, the pressure is on not to disappoint.
