The 2022 F1 season noticed Crimson Bull and Ferrari take an early lead over the remainder of the sphere with their respective packages. Consequently, the 2 groups have been capable of win all however one race all season.

Alternatively, Max Verstappen’s rival in 2021, Lewis Hamilton, merely didn’t have the automotive to compete in opposition to him. Mercedes was unable to search out the proper answer for the brand new rules and in consequence, ended up ending third within the championship and outdoors of championship rivalry.

However if you get it unsuitable, you actually must reinvent and check out once more and also you’re all the time behind after which you need to attempt to catch up.”

It took Crimson Bull years to catch Mercedes: Max Verstappen

Taking Crimson Bull’s instance himself, Max Verstappen stated that even the Austrian staff needed to first kind out its energy unit earlier than it may turn out to be aggressive in opposition to Mercedes. He stated:

“You noticed that with us in that it took just a few years [to challenge Mercedes]. We did not have a very good engine however as soon as we had that sorted out, we labored on the automotive and when you carry all that collectively, you might be lastly roughly there, but it surely took us just a few years. Perhaps with these rules, it’s much less advanced however you might be nonetheless on the backfoot and it’s essential catch up. However whereas they tried to catch up, we’re additionally making an attempt to enhance, so that is what we now have to attempt to preserve doing and hopefully present that once more [in 2023].”
