Max Verstappen was back in his 2022 Red Bull on Wednesday, but why? The team reveals all.
Red Bull recently had Max Verstappen conduct a private test in their 2022 car at Imola to address issues with their RB20 related to stiffness on kerbs and bumps. The team provided Verstappen with a reference point by using the two-year-old RB18, the car in which he won 15 Grand Prix races and his second drivers’ title. Verstappen logged significant mileage to compare the two cars and offer feedback to help improve the current RB20 for the ongoing title defense. The team will now analyze Verstappen’s feedback alongside data and other driver comments to assess strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements for the rest of the season. Red Bull’s focus remains on retaining both the constructors’ and drivers’ titles amid stiff competition in Formula 1.
