Former FIA chief Todt delivers powerful wake-up call to Red Bull: A cautionary tale from 2005

Former Ferrari Team Principal Jean Todt has used the example of the 2005 season to warn Red Bull to not

Since the introduction of ground effect aerodynamics in 2022, Red Bull has dominated the sport, winning 39 out of 44 races and achieving consecutive title doubles. They have broken numerous records, including McLaren’s record of 11 consecutive victories in 1988, with Red Bull achieving 15. However, changes to the regulations, such as the mandatory use of one tire set throughout a race, have the potential to disrupt Red Bull’s dominance, as we saw with Ferrari in 2005. Ferrari, who had achieved six straight Constructors’ Championships between 1999 and 2004, struggled the following season and ended without a win. Jean Todt, who draws comparisons between Ferrari and Red Bull, cautions Red Bull to be mindful of the shifting landscape and recalls how Ferrari lost competitiveness despite their previous success. Ferrari is working on a revised car concept to end their 16-season title drought, while Todt now supports Charles Leclerc, believing he has the potential to win a World Championship in the future.
