Red Bull enjoyed a very positive start to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as proven by the data.
Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, there were concerns about Red Bull’s performance. The team faced balance issues in the previous race which are yet to be fully resolved. Despite adjustments made for Baku, further upgrades will come later. However, Red Bull showed promise in practice, with Verstappen and Perez delivering competitive lap times. Verstappen struggled with understeer but showed strength in the second sector. Red Bull’s focus on downforce may benefit Verstappen’s tire wear in the race. Perez’s strong performance adds to Red Bull’s optimism for the upcoming race in Baku, where they could contend for pole position and victory.
