  • I am getting tired of people claiming the car is built around verstappen and twisting albon’s words to ‘prove’ it. Albon clearly says in the article that the car is what it is and that the only reason the car ends up being developed more towards verstappen is because he is faster and hence his inputs are given more weight.

    Hell even this year started off with the car suiting Perez but even then Perez could hardly match verstappen and once the car was updated slightly. Why would you give the guy who is at best equally matched and at worst nearly a second behind the other guy equal weightage when it comes to upgrades.


  • Firstly Perez never says this in the article. Secondly not only people who are at red bull but even people who have left red bull have confirmed that the car is never built for a particular driver. Instead, RB develops the car in a way that makes it faster and that just happens to be a oversteery car. Max is able to live with it and hence is able to extract the performance. If RB had 2 Sergio’s they would have needed to make a fundamentally slower car because Perez would be able to extract the max from that car and not to able to do the same with a oversteery car. In that scenario, the car would seem slower than it actually is due to Perez’s limitation. Kind of like a CPU bottleneck (Perez) masking the true performance of the GPU(car)
