Red Bull’s technical director is “not ๊confident” for next season - but 🔯insists his attitude will benefit the team.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen wrapped up his fourth F1 drivers🎃’ champ🐻ionship in a row but Red Bull have come under huge pressure from McLaren this season, the dominance of last year vanishing.

McLaren and Ferr🦹ari have overhauled Red Bull in the constructors’ championship.

Ultimately, Red Bull’s strong start to 2024💎 was key to Verstappen withstanding Lando Norris’ challenge to win༒ the drivers’ title.

Technical director Pierre Wache told about the rec꧅ent improvement to the RB20: “I think we are happy with what we have done quickly.

But Wache said: “I'm not confident for '25.

“I'm not confident because I think the others are very quick or are there. It will be a fight for the full ye✱ar.”

The man in charge of developing Red Bull’s 2025 car - who will have extra scrut🦂iny on him due to Adrian Newey’s exit - believes his mentality will serve the team well.

“If you have confidence in this business, you are dꦿead,” he sai🧸d.

“You have to work hard, and everybody has to, in the team, work h💦ard. Everybody's working hard.

“When you see the number of people we hav༒e trying to find a very small amount of performance and add and add and add everywhere, it is a very diffic🐻ult task.

“I have a✱ lack of confidence, because if I have confidence, you go to sleep, you don't go to work, and then you don't find performance.”

Verstappen endured a shock 10-race winless run as Norris threatened to pip ꦫhim to the title.

But Wache now knows ཧthe moment that they understood the RB20’s issues.

“I think clearly Monza was a key point and a wake-up point on our side,” he𝐆 said.

“It highlighted some issue on the car that we diꦡdn't see before... or we saw, but we suspected and guessed.”

Next year, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes will h𓄧ope to🐭 test Red Bull’s resolve.

Newey, meanwhile, will begin work at Aston Martin whose longer-term goal is to develop the best car💜 for the 2026 rules.
