Red Bull screws up expectations: 'Unanimous in their belief'

Red Bull Racing experienced a rock-solid year last season with Max Verstappen managing to capture the world title. Next season the team hopes to go for the top prize again. Lawrence Barretto does not rule out that the Austrian racing team will succeed.

Due to the new rules that will be in place in 2022, Red Bull, as well as the other teams, had to work hard in recent months to bring a strong car to the track. During the test days in Barcelona and Bahrain, the team of Verstappen and Sergio Perez got the chance to test their car, with a lot of positivism.

This coming weekend, the first Bahrain Grand Prix is scheduled. For now, it is still difficult to state which teams are the favorites for victory, but journalist Barretto writes on the official website of Formula 1 that Red Bull has a good chance.

"It’s still only testing, and there are plenty of unknowns regarding each team’s individual programme," Barretto stated. "But Red Bull’s rivals were near unanimous in their belief that the four-time world champions are the ones to beat based on what we’ve seen on track in Bahrain."
