'Red Bull will bring two upgrades in upcoming three races'
- GPblog.com
Red Bull Racing won the first Grand Prix of the season in dominant fashion. Max Verstappen won the race ahead of Sergio Pérez. Fernando Alonso completed the podium, but had to concede 38 seconds to winner Verstappen.
The usually well-informed Auto Motor und Sport (AMuS) has more bad news for Red Bull's rivals. They report that Verstappen's team will be adding upgrades to the RB19 in two of the upcoming three races, in Australia and Baku.
Upgrades Red Bull
So good news for Verstappen and Pérez, but bad news for the competition. "It gets worse for the competition. Red Bull will come with a small upgrade for the Australian Grand Prix and for the fourth race of the season in Baku with a significant upgrade for the car," reports AMuS in a video on YouTube.
The German motorsport site also reveals that Mercedes and Ferrari have not yet been able to figure out what makes the Red Bull so good. During the season opener, Red Bull was competitive in all corners and on the straight, but the Austrian team's tyre wear in particular stood out. In Bahrain, Red Bull was the only team to complete the race with two sets of the soft tyre and one set of hard tyres. All other teams needed two sets of the hard tyres to finish the race.
