Russell Suggests Red Bull “Embarassed” To Show True Speed
Red Bull have been dominant in 2023 with many suggesting that this is despite them holding back and hiding their true pace. Mercedes driver George Russell has an interesting theory behind this as he has now explained to the BBC Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxi7KmeK-PrdZy84Mafjiu42MpW2yZ9I9a 0:00 - Russell Suggests Red Bull “Embarassed” To Show True Speed 0:57 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Russell Suggests Red Bull “Embarassed” To Show True Speed Russell started off by stating his hypothesis “For sure they’re holding back" "I think they are almost embarrassed to show their full potential because the faster they seem, the more that the sport is going to try and hold them back somehow” He further reasoned that Red Bull don’t need to push “I think realistically they probably have seven-tenths advantage over the rest of the field” “I don’t know what the pace difference looks like at the moment” “Max has got no reason to be pushing it, nor has Red Bull” He signed off by giving Red Bull credit for doing a good job “They’ve done a really great job to be fair to them. We can’t take that away, and we clearly have to up our game” Fast Feed Reigning world champion Max Verstappen suggested that they “are just doing [their] best with the development of the car” [BBC] “Apart from that, it's also about controlling the pace” “There is no need to gain half a second every lap and destroy your tyres” Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso tried to “put some pressure [on Lewis Hamilton] but, you know, he had an incredible race” “No mistakes at all, as you probably expect from him, a champion” “I was trying to put pressure but nothing happened” Lewis, meanwhile, revealed that “it was definitely not easy to keep [Alonso] behind me” “He had two or three charges where I really had to up the ante” “Fernando doesn't make mistakes, and so it had to be a perfect run” AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda pointed out that they “scored [their] first point of the season which is good” “But to be honest, given our pace I didn't expect to score any” McLaren’s Oscar Piastri exclaimed “obviously a crazy, crazy race but we stayed in there when it mattered” “I’m so happy to get my first points in Melbourne” Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg stated that “I am at peace with myself. I am enjoying myself in this team” Do you believe that Red Bull have a bigger pace advantage than they are showing presently?
