Red Bull is playing fair, as Ferrari raises doubts
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen did not have the best season start to 2022. The Dutchman fell prey to reliability issues and sat many points behind his title rival for a long time. However, kudos to the Austrian team’s hard work, they have managed to catch up with Ferrari’s pace. In fact, in the last two races, Verstappen’s RB-18 was arguably faster than the F1-75.

Development of a car takes place in stages, and there are certain rules that everyone has to follow. Binotto does not understand the hefty money the Austrian team has already put in at this point. This raised the Italian’s concerns as he urged the FIA to take care of the matter.

But it is good news for the Tifosi as Ferrari are also expected to bring a better and updated package for the Spanish Grand Prix. They are rumored to bring in new parts that will boost the F1-75 to its ultimate limits.
