The first day of the test of Bahrain immediately created a certain tension in the paddock due to the aerodynamic design presented by the Mercedes W13, which took to the track with the extremely tapered side bellies compared to those seen in the previous tests in Barcelona. An aerodynamic layout that sparked the first controversies from the competition, starting with the Red Bull. Specifically, the one who expressed the heaviest impressions was the team principal of the Anglo-Austrian team, Christian Horner, with the latter subsequently denying personal statements made on the alleged illegality by the German house itself.
Always remaining in the Red Bull field, the issue of the updates implemented by the reigning champion team does not seem to worry the number 1 of the Milton Keynes team Max Verstappenappeared more focused on the developments of his RB18 than the innovations presented by rivals: “No, I’m not at all thoughtful – admitted the 24-year-old Dutchman – we just have to focus on ourselves. I’ve said it many times last year, and we have to do it again this season, even if the cars look a little different than they did in 2021. there are several elements still unknown, and that we will have to discover better over time, so I’m not worried at all ”.
