Red Bull: Copying alone not enough to help rivals catch up in F1
“The 2024 season in Formula 1 is expected to be more competitive as teams try to replicate Red Bull’s successful car design from 2023. However, Red Bull’s technical director, Pierre Wache, believes that understanding the ‘why’ behind their design philosophy is more important than simply copying it. While teams often borrow ideas from each other, there are no guarantees that what works for one team will work for others. Wache emphasizes the importance of having knowledge and a clear goal in order to make progress. He also acknowledges that last year’s RB19 was not a perfect car and that performance in F1 is relative to the competition. Dominance depends on both the strengths of Red Bull and the mistakes made by other teams in developing their cars.”
