Max is great (just like Lewis), but it's generally accepted that Red Bull's "secret sauce" is the car, and their engineering team (specifically "aero").
- indy 3y agoIt's a combination of both, the Red Bull has been the most aerodynamically sophisticated car on the grid for a couple of seasons now, but then again I don't think many drivers would have been as successful as Max was last season
- michaelcampbell 3y ago> generally accepted that Red Bull's "secret sauce" is the car Only partially; Newey is a generational talent at what he does but if it were just that, Checo would be way ahead of where he is. Unless your assertion is that he has a LACK of talent that counteracts the car's advantage?
- abendy 3y agoMax's preference and ability to handle a very pointy front-end allows for more control of the aero across the entire car and is generally regarded as the best (fastest) way to design a car. Checo (as well as many other drivers) do not handle that set up as well. Newey's talent is undeniable, too.
