“Any chink in the armour for Red Bull?” - Damon Hill gives Ferrari fans hope for Saudi Arabia
Red Bull started F1 2023 with a dominant 1-2 finish in Bahrain as168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen won ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez.
Aston Martin’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso was their closest chal🅘lenger, finishing over 38 seconds off the lead.
Red Bull’s advantage in race trim was frightening, with Verstappen pulling away from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc in🔯 the first portio꧑n of the race at a rate close to one-second per lap.
However, with the track characteristics at Jeddah completely different 𝓰to Bahrain, Hill predicts 🅰Ferrari to fare better.
“It’s going to be different [to Bahrain]," Hill told the F1 Nation podcast. “We’re going to realise Ferrari have got pace, they have got the🥀 ability to race and they’ll be all over the backꦕ of the Red Bulls with the DRS zones and everything. It’s going to be great.
“It is going to give a pointer as to whether there’s any chink in the armour for Red Bull, whether it actually is track specific; the performance of maybe Ferrari 🍌will be much more competitive and a circuit with less🐬 tyre [degradation], certainly in race conditions, and also their horsepower as well.”
The big talking point from Bahrain was Aston Martin’s no💝table improvement.
Just 12 months ago, Aston Martin fo✨und themselves bottom of the F1 constructors’ championship, now they’re second ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari.
Hill believes Jeddah will give a clear indication as to👍 whether Aston Martin are genuine contenders for the podium this💜 year.
“Aston Martin have now kind of created an expectation that they’re goin🌞g to be brilliant at every event," Hill added. "So they are going to find out that you’ve got to keep it up if you’re going to do well.”
