Eddie Jordan has bad news for F1 fans hoping for more excitement. According to the former team owner, Adrian Newey has told him that it will be almost impossible for the competition to catch up with Red Bull. Good news, then, for fans of Max Verstappen.
With the new regulations in 2022, it was the chance for all teams to make their move. Ferrari seemed to get off to a good start, but could not develop their concept much further. Red Bull had laid a good foundation with the RB18, though, and has been steadily moving away from the competition ever since.
Why Verstappen and Red Bull will also win it all in the coming years
"I don't care what engine Mercedes have, the car is not to the level and the quality aerodynamically, in terms of the ability to drive it hard and to get the maximum out of it like Max Verstappen is able to do. A lot of this, nevertheless, is to the sheer talent that Max has because Checo is not able to do the same thing as he can,"' Jordan says in the Formula For Success podcast.
Therefore, despite all the rumours surrounding Red Bull Racing, the F1 icon has no doubt who will win in Austin: Max Verstappen. Jordan believes Verstappen will keep on winning in the coming years. Jordan is almost certain of this after talking to Red Bull's Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.
"I was at a function the other night with Adrian Newey, we cycle a lot together in Cape Town, and Adrian tells me that he feels that the evolution of what they've got at the moment is going to be so difficult for anyone to catch up with. So please, folks out there, prepare yourself either for a boring time or an exciting time, depending on whether you're a Red Bull fan or not," Jordan said
