Red Bull are “not happy with the car”, it has been claimed just days before the F1 2025 season starts.

The F1 Australi♛an Grand Prix this weekend kickstarts tཧhe new campaign.

It is the final year of the current F1🔯 regulations꧅, meaning the field is expected to converge closer than it has been for the past few seasons.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s drivers’ title could, therefore, come under even more sever⛎e threat as he seeks a fifth crown in a row.

Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz said about the RB21: “It was an un-Red Bull-lꦗike test to have. Strange that none of the teams had any unreliability.

“They did꧋n’t really do any race runs, they trust that they’ll get the setup right eventuall🌠y.

“They did tests on the new front wing and the ne🧸w nose that they brought to the car. The rest of the aerodynamics are different, the suspension is different, the floor is sure to be different.

“It’s the first non-Adrian Newey car they’ve had in ye꧙ars, and they’re not sure how it will shake out.

“Really unusual from Red Bull.”

Karun Chandhok added: “The last day underlined that they are not happy witꦇh the car.

“The other top teams did 57-lap runౠs, often with both drivers. Red 💮Bull were doing short runs, which were just balance checks.

“It tells me that 🗹they are still trying to unlock some potential.

“It feels like an⛄ extension of last year.𝐆 McLaren with the quickest car, the other three close, Max wringing its neck to get a lap time.

“It feels, expectedly with the stable rules, like we’ve carried on♎ from Abu Dhabi.”

Max Verstappen tipped to lose F1 title

Verstappen held off McLaren’s Norris to de༒fend the drivers’ title last year.

That came despite McLar👍en overhauling Red Bull to win the constructors’.

Verstappen’s aggressive driving was🧸 criticised late last year as he fended off Norris, whose car was quicker.

This year, Verstappen has been tipped to c�❀�oncede his drivers’ title.

“The car development d🦹ir൲ection will favour him, he’s expected to be the quicker driver,” Chandhok said.

“Liam Lawson has to lump it! And go along with wha🌟t the te⛦am decides. Frankly, with what Max decides.

“He’s in a go🎶od position in terms of having the team behind him for the drivers’ championship.

“I t🌼hi♎nk that, now Lando and Oscar have won their first races, they will improve this year.

“In my b꧟ook, Lando♚ is the favourite for the championship.”
