Former Dutch racing driver Christijan Albers has pinpointed a crucial trait in the functioning of Red Bull as a team. The Milton Keynes-based outfit recently triumphed in the Qatar GP and stands third in the title race.
You don’t see them developing through a weekend like that. The speed doesn’t come in. In terms of engineer level, I think they are one of the best teams. I think the best. They have engineers who can really get the most out of the car in terms of setup. Only, they have to have the time and that is not always there.
