Newey's Nemesis - Internal Turmoil Threatens Red Bull's Technical Dominance! 🚨🏎️ Whispers from the F1 paddock suggest Adrian Newey, the mastermind behind Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology's meteoric rise, may be considering a move amidst internal turmoil at Milton Keynes. Newey, 65, has been the driving force behind Red Bull's dominant F1 cars since 2005, overseeing two eras of unprecedented success with Vettel and Verstappen at the wheel. 🏆🔧 However, recent reports from AMuS indicate that the design chief is unsettled by the political upheaval within the team, particularly allegations surrounding Christian Horner. Red Bull's internal investigation cleared Horner of wrongdoing, but the fallout has seemingly taken a toll on the team's harmony. Tensions between Horner, Helmut Marko, and the team's shareholders have created a complex power struggle. 🤼♂️ Losing Newey would be a seismic blow for Red Bull, as his technical genius has been the cornerstone of their success. With rival teams like Ferrari and Aston Martin F1 Team reportedly courting the designer, the Milton Keynes squad faces a potential brain drain. Newey's departure could also unsettle Max Verstappen, who has emphasised his desire for stability within the team. The Dutchman's long-term contract may not be enough to keep him if the team's technical prowess takes a hit. 🤔 As the 2026 regulations loom, Newey's expertise could prove invaluable for any team looking to gain an edge. His track record of designing championship-winning cars makes him the most sought-after technical mind in F1. 🏆📈 While Newey remains under contract with Red Bull until 2025, his reported unhappiness could force an early exit. The question remains: will Red Bull manage to keep their design guru, or will a rival team secure his services for the next chapter of F1? 🤐 Stay tuned as this story develops, and brace yourselves for potential shockwaves in the F1 landscape! 🌋 #f1 #f12024 #redbull #adriannewey #guru #disasteranalysis 

Moving under braking? It Can Not be done... well Not Hard Braking. Is he moving before he brakes--possibly but isn't that just Hard Racing? He's not Douuble Braking into the corner PS: It's basic tire grip: Look at tire grip the way you look at a pizza: If a Pizza has 8 slices and you are under Hard braking, using all 8 of the slices to slow-- even turning the steering wheel will have virtually no effect on direction. Why? Because you're using All Available tire grip to slow down. "Should the FIA clamp down on Verstappen-style defending? Our F1 writers have their say" https://lnkd.in/eC62XB7T

With Formula 1 back this week for the first race of the season in Bahrain, I've built a race timing #dataanalysis tool to reflect upon last year's opening round. A "gapper plot" shows the time delta for all drivers relative to a reference time or car, and is key for evaluating the race #strategy across all teams. During a race, teams analyse relative gaps with live updates to determine and predict ideal pitstop windows. Last year saw Verstappen lead Perez to the finish by 12s for Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology, with Alonso for Aston Martin F1 Team in third, a further 27s behind. How different will the result be this year? More #F1 race strategy analysis here: https://lnkd.in/efQcta48

In 2010, Red Bull Racing consistently recorded the fasted F1 pit stops (tyre change) that season at an average of 3.5 seconds. By 2019, through small innovations such as the pivoting car jack, but mostly hours and hours of practice, Red Bull had reduced its pitstop time to 1.82 seconds. They had nearly reduced the time by half --> 48.5%. To put this feat in perspective, in Athletics, the world record for the 100m sprint in 1906 was 10.6 seconds, in 2009 Usain Bolt set the current WR at 9.58 secs. In just over a century the time for the blue ribband event of athletics had been improved by less that 10%. In 2019 Red Bull had set a new standard for all the other teams to follow and set a new level of excellence for pit crews. Going faster than 1.82 seconds in a race scenario seemed crazy. But ALL the F1 teams continued to practice and stayed hungry for the perfect pit stop. In 2023, at the Qatar GP, McLaren found an extra 1% and kept Lando Norris in the pits for just 1.80 seconds, marginally beating the 2019 record. Did the McLaren team reach the new ceiling of pit times? Possibly not. Did the McLaren Pit Crew execute the perfect pitstop? Probably not. There is likely another 1% somewhere. Whether you're coaching kids, teaching teens or leading a corporate team, instill the value of practice PLUS the value of attitude. Imagine a team of 20 professionals practicing something together thousands of times that takes 1.82 seconds over 4 years and not seeing your desired 1% improvement. The monotony of practice can only be overcome by the power of shared belief. Then imagine the McLaren pit crew party after that Qatar GP in 2023. Pure elation, I'm sure.

The Pressure is On for Sergio Perez at #RedBull! 🚨 The #F1 season is heating up, and Checo’s spot at Red Bull Racing is on the line. Can he hold onto his seat, or will the rising pressure push him out? 🤔 Our latest article looks at the challenges Perez faces and what it all means for his future with the team. 🏎️🔥 Check it out! 👇🔗 https://lnkd.in/dMp5ej4W 

🏎️ Imagine being a Formula 1 driver in the best car. Sounds electrifying, right? But hold on - it’s Monday, and yesterday you graciously handed victory to your teammate. Why? 🤔 🏆 Meet Oscar Piastri, the 115th F1 Grand Prix race winner! 🏁 Oscar joined the McLaren F1 Team in the 2023 season. He made an impressive debut, scoring points in only his 3rd race. By the end of his rookie season, he secured double podium finishes and even clinched victory in the sprint race. Fast forward to the 2024 season, and Oscar has become a Formula 1 Grand Prix winner! 🥇 🌟 Now, let’s talk about Lando Norris, another GP winner. With 3 pole positions and 21 podiums, he’s already a shining star in the world of motorsports. In his 6th F1 season, he finally has a car capable of winning races. 🇭🇺 Hungarian Grand Prix, 2024: Norris leads the race, with Piastri close behind. But McLaren makes a poor strategic call - they invoke Team Orders and instruct Lando to let Oscar pass. It’s not the first time teammates have swapped leads in Formula 1, but the consequences can be swift. The Dilemma: Should Lando prioritize team harmony over personal victory? In the heat of Hungaroring, Norris grapples with this question. Ultimately, he chooses the long game, sacrificing his own win for the team. His race engineer, Will Joseph, reminds him: “(…)The way to win a championship is not by yourself, it’s with the team. You’re going to need Oscar, you’re going to need the team.” “As we said this morning mate, many more opportunities.” 🤔 Your Turn: - Should Lando have held his lead and not let Oscar pass? - Is winning worth compromising team consistency? - Should championship points in the drivers’ classification take precedence?
