Never be satisfied, but always look forward. A mantra that applies in many areas of life, let alone in Formula 1, where a few cents make the difference between victory and anonymity. At this time the Red Bull is the car to beat, and certainly the Milton Keynes team can approach the season finale with the tranquility of those who have only the arithmetic obstacle between themselves and the titles: however, stopping the race for developments would be deleterious and would favor a recovery of Ferrari and Mercedes. Of course, the games in all likelihood will already be done, but – respecting the budget cap which by 2022 stands at 145 million dollars – the battle for 2023 has already begun.
Damon Hill warned Red Bull of this danger: “If the team doesn’t do any further development on this car, I think Ferrari and Mercedes will already be on top of them when they arrive in Abu Dhabi. If you stand still for a second in Formula 1, you are submerged. You will literally sink into quicksand“Said the 1996 world champion in the latest episode of the podcast F1 Nation. “Even for a winning team, the pressure is therefore inexorable, and you need to have rhythm in development“. However, it seems very difficult that Ferrari And Mercedes have millions more to invest than Red Bull, if already in the middle of the year the teams fought to ask the FIA for permission for a greater outlay due to the impossibility of returning to the maximum expense. Assuming that the budget cap is actually respected, it seems much more plausible that the superiority of Red Bull will extend until the end of the season and that the competition will concentrate its efforts in the coming winter.
