Red Bull technical director Pierre Waché acknowledges the opportunity to gain insights from their sister team to address concerns related to the RB21 car. He cautions against drawing excessive influence from the Faenza-based team to avoid hindering Max Verstappen’s competitive car. The narrow operating window of Red Bull’s F1 machines has posed challenges in recent years, with Verstappen excelling while teammates struggle. Sergio Perez’s departure in 2024 led to Liam Lawson briefly joining before being replaced. Yuki Tsunoda, currently alongside Verstappen, has encountered similar difficulties, emphasizing the importance of having two competitive drivers for the team.
