The car is statistically the greatest F1 machine of all-time, with Christian Horner detailing the biggest weapon the RB19 had over its 2022 predecessor.
Christian Horner believes that the key to Red Bull’s exceptional success in 2023 was the significant weight reduction of nearly 20kg in their car from 2022. They not only defended their titles but also claimed 21 out of 22 Grand Prix wins and five out of six Sprint wins, earning 860 championship points and achieving a first-ever one-two in the Drivers’ championship. The RB19 is being hailed as one of the greatest cars of all time, with its remarkable performance being compared to iconic cars like McLaren MP4/4, Ferrari F2004, and Mercedes’ 2020 W11. Horner explained that many components of the RB19 were carried over from the RB18, including the gearbox, a large part of the suspension, and half of the chassis. However, the significant improvement came through the weight reduction and addressing imperfections, with 20 kilos being shaved off and marginal gains achieved in all areas. This was a crucial difference between the 2022 and 2023 cars.
