Formula 1 | Ricciardo: “The new Racing Bulls is an evolution of the 2023 AlphaTauri”
“Our goal is to get closer to the top of the midfield,” said the Australian
One of the most talked about cars during the tests in Bahrain was certainly the new one Racing Bulls VCARB01. The Faenza team, ex AlphaTauri, he brought a single-seater to the track that tends to closely resemble the Red Bull RB19 from last year, natural when you mount some parts from the parent company, clearly staying within the limits of the regulations. Second Daniel Ricciardo However, aesthetics aside, what counts is what you can't see, and the Australian wanted to point out how the single-seater is a natural evolution of the AlphaTauri AT04 that we saw in the latter part of 2023. Will it be true?

“It's the beginning of the season, so we have to be cautious – Daniel admitted. The goal over the course of the year will be to be in the top positions of the center of the group, while now we are in the middle of the battle anyway. We're not ahead of the curve right now, at least I think, but it's definitely our goal. I know some say otherwise, but I want to keep my feet on the ground at the moment. We have a good car, but there is a lot of work to do considering the test data. The single-seater is a logical evolution of last year's: clearly from the outside everything is very different, but the interior is truly a continuation of what we saw in Abu Dhabi. We brought an update for that race and it was a continuation of the already existing development. Obviously there's a new chassis and everything, but the philosophy follows that of the previous car. Many things have changed and will change again, I'm talking about the personnel and the way we manage the team and the races. The car was comfortable because it was similar to last year."
