This is Red Bull’s ongoing commitment to 2023

Oracle Red Bull Racing, current champion of both drivers and constructors, presented this Friday its RB19 car for the 2023 Formula 1 season in an event that lasted an hour from the Classic Car Club Manhattan in New York and was- broadcast on its YouTube channel.

With the amazing fiction filmed in various outdoor settings, they recalled their amazing numbers 2022, which they hope to continue in 2023. And as common sense demands, they bet not to touch too much if what has been shown to work, the decoration is the same outside and inside they are focused on optimizing what is unusual in the base.

Christian Hornermain team and SEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing, the first to speak to justify the reason for the presentation on American soil: “The United States plays a bigger role every time, it’s amazing how they accept the F1”.

“After an incredible season we are sure that Ferrari and Mercedes will present great projects, but it is a matter of concentrating on ourselves, in Bahrain we will see each other’s car proposals one. Certainly in a season there are ups and downs and we hope to continue with the high moments of last year, the consistency, which is very important to win 17 out of 22 races with an impressive level of performance from two drivers. This is a good winter to recharge the batteries and solve the changes that need to be made”.

And they announced that for the three American races they want to involve the fans in showing a sketch of the decorations for the three Miami, Austin and Las Vegas Grand Prix, the nods to the American market do not change due to the success of attendance the years and hence F1’s commitment to bring its ‘Great Circus’ up to three times there.

They first accepted the Australian Daniel Ricciardo who returned to the team where he achieved his greatest success as a reserve driver. “This is a homecoming in the second stage of my career, many familiar faces and very familiar to me. I will use my experience in the simulator and helping the team and close to the engineers to contribute to the development.”

Then it’s the turn of the two official drivers, starting with the runner-up Checko Perez. “The goal is to continue to progress, the competition is getting stronger and we want to be better than last year as a team, it’s been a busy winter for us to come back with fully charged batteries for in the new season and in the test of Bahrain made a good start for a long time”.

And then it was the champion’s turn Max Verstappen face his second consecutive defense of the drivers’ title and he already knows the pressure of the job. “I already defended the title last year, I am very optimistic and, of course, the goal is to try to defend my title.”

“When you’re young, the dream is to try to become an F1 driver and then win a race, and eventually the championship. I did it and I had a lot of pressure on my shoulders to get what I dreamed of. Last year is a good test for me if I can repeat the title, but I want to keep improving, nobody is perfect, and you always have to learn and do things better. I always ask myself how I can be better great and I will try to be “.

Christian Horner He has shown himself “lucky to have two fantastic drivers who combined their talents, the best couple in F1 and we will have very strong rivals who will try to stop us but we are lucky to have these two. The situation is different because now we defend the title (of the constructors), we are the hunted and not the hunter and we are all very focused. There are changes in the rules and the factory is working hard, we will only have three days of testing before the race”.

And finally came the exhibition of the new RB19, which on the outside is exactly the same and that’s how Verstappen highlighted it. “Our decoration has been pretty much the same for the last two years, with red bull colors everywhere. We have been successful with these colors so why change,” he asked.

And of the changes inside, which he had only experienced in the simulator, he didn’t say a peep. “I worked on the simulator and I can’t give details, but the first feeling was good”.

Horner went a little further: “In firm terms we have already taken the lessons and the basis is the best successful car we have and we tried to optimize it, we must also consider the tires that will be quite different.”

Finally, word has arrived from what will be Red Bull’s next great traveling companion, Ford, officially known news an hour before the event. The CEO of Ford Motor Company, Jim Farley, staged with Christian Horner the return to F1 in 2026 as a Red Bull motorist which they hope will be “an exciting journey”.
