Formula 1’s technical contributors credit a major upgrade at Baku with enabling Max Verstappen’s victories at Sepang and Singapore, after he found the RB22 a very difficult car through the first 14 races.
Formula 1 technical contributors Mark Hughes and Giorgio Piola trace Red Bull’s breakthrough to a major upgrade at Baku, round 15. They say the update enabled Max Verstappen to win the next two races, at Sepang and Singapore, after he had found the RB22 a very difficult car in the first 14 races.
After his first Singapore victory, Verstappen said the car had taken a step forward and become more driveable and predictable. He said those were the qualities he wanted and needed to fight at the front, and hoped Red Bull could carry the momentum forward.
