Red Bull enjoyed a dominant season in 2023, but its current on-track struggles began during the success-filled campaign.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has pinpointed an early wrong turn in development in the 2023 F1 season, leading to a slip in performance and trailing McLaren in the constructors’ championship. The squad’s dominance in the previous year, with 21 wins out of 22 races, set high expectations for this season. However, the team has struggled to secure victories since the Spanish Grand Prix in June, prompting a review of their errors. Horner disclosed that the first misstep occurred with an underbody upgrade at last year’s Barcelona round, coinciding with Checo’s car troubles. Red Bull aims to bounce back in Austin following a challenging event in Singapore, the only track where they failed to win during their 2023 campaign.
