Ted Kravitz says “lots of people will be looking at the Red Bull and saying how are they able to gain nearly 20 miles an hour advantage on that straight than anyone else?”
After the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton said the 2023 Red Bull was the fastest Formula 1 car he has ever seen.
The Briton felt the power and speed of the RB19 first hand, when Max Verstappen easily overtook him on the start-finish straight.
Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz said Hamilton was correct in his observation.
“A – it is – Lewis Hamilton is right,” the Kravitz said.
“And B – what he is referring to is the ease at which Max Verstappen was able to pass him on the straight the moment he opened his DRS.

“What Lewis is saying is he had never seen someone gain quite so much speed by opening the DRS. He doesn’t understand how this is possible.
“There is lots of technical intrigue on Formula 1, lots of people will be looking at the Red Bull and saying how are they able to gain nearly 20 miles an hour advantage on that straight than anyone else?
“Are they doing something with that rear wing that not only stalls out the rear wing but stalls out the floor and other aerodynamics around the car?
“So, that will be I am sure the latest round of technical intrigue in Formula 1 when we get to the next round in Australia,” the Briton concluded.
