They can develop less in the wind tunnel this year, so theoretically they can’t get much forward anymore.”Despite Red Bull’s dominant start, Steiner is confident their rivals will catch up in the coming races.“I’m not worried that the others will catch up,” he added. “I wouldn’t say that they will now keep this advantage for the next 20 races.“Everyone will catch up, and hopefully we’ll find out how Red Bull got this advantage, and we can copy it or do something similar.”Related Ricciardo wants F1 return but “not at any cost” | Eyes set on “top team” How does Ferrari’s awful start in 2023 compare to previous seasons?

Finally, Steiner dismissed that the regulations are to blame.“You can’t blame the regulations for this,” he explained. “Because if someone does a better job than the others, they should have the advantage.“We still have a good race between Checo and Max, which does not seem to be without sparks, without a show.”
