Red Bull dominance creates “big pressure” for Mercedes to poach key staff - Martin Brundle

Red Bull have started F1 2023 in bliꦕstering fashion, scoring 1-2 finishes in the opening two rounds of the season.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez finished 25 seconds clear🦄 of Fernando Alonso in third at Jeddah despite there bꩵeing a mid-race Safety Car, highlighting Red Bull’s dominance.
Writing i🐎n his post-race column for Sky Sports, Brundle think𓆏s teams will be under extra pressure to make new signings in a bid to improve their fortunes.
“Red Bull's dominant speed has put many teams and their key personnel under big pressure, not least Merc𓄧edes, Ferrari and McLaren,” Brundle said.
“I've rarely witnessed such a broad challeng𓆉e across so many teams and they'll be looking to hire experienced talent from other teams, who are themselves still feverishly protecting the people they already have under contract and collecting up other talen𝔍ts.
꧒“Add in Audi (currently Sauber Alfa Romeo) on a major recruitment crusade ready for 2026 and, despite the cost cap, it's a seller's market for people who know how a F1 team and car really works.”

Reflecting on the race itself, Brundle praised Perez for beating 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to the win - the🎶 first time their pair have 1-2 ꦗwith the Mexican in front.
“Perez out front matched wha🎶tever his team-mate Verstappen could muster speed-wise and duly won the race in fine style,” he added.
“His fifth victory, four of which♎ have been on street circuits - but more significantly his first victory when Max ♔was second.
“Verstappen stole the fastest lap championship point on the f༒inal tour and that clearly annoyed Perez, who was surprised the team didn't call off the fight when they had a one-two easily in the bag and he was suffering with a longer brake pedal, and unbeknown to him, Max was feeling a vibration in his transmission.”
