Red Bull Racing produced one of the most dominant campaigns ever in the history of F1 in 2023, winning 21 out of a possible 22 races. The Milton-Keynes outfit, led by their championship-winning driver Max Verstappen, cruised to their third consecutive title since 2021.

The 2023 Red Bull challenger car RB19 thus became the finest piece of machinery produced by the Milton-Keynes unit in the ground-effect era. The brilliance of the RB19, coupled with the masterful strategies and skills of the team, produced a sensational campaign for the Austrian Giants.

Max Verstappen has since deemed the RB19 his most successful car ever, praising the team for their outstanding efforts in manufacturing the machine. Verstappen won a staggering 19 races in the RB19 while achieving several milestones during the past season.

The RB19, it will probably be my most successful car ever. Its always an emotional one for sure.

Red Bull leads this season’s championship as well but they have not been as dominant as the past year in their efforts. The upcoming race in Budapest will be important for the Milton-Keynes team as they battle the ever-improving McLaren and Mercedes outfit.

Christian Horner predicts a ‘close’ fight at the Hungarian GP

Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner has predicted his team to rise to the very top in Budapest amidst winless outings at Spielberg and Silverstone. Horner has claimed that the same teams that have been competent since the last few races will be the ones fighting for the win at the Hungaroring.

It's going to be interesting to see how we perform there. It could be hot. I think it'll be the usual people who are quick at the moment. It's going to be interesting, an interesting venue and I'm sure it'll be very, very close once again.

Red Bull missed out on the win at the British Grand Prix by only 1.4 seconds to Mercedes, who have been on the rise since Monaco. Christian Horner has labeled Budapest as an interesting venue that will witness an intense battle between the top teams.

The Milton-Keynes outfit will be looking to move past the blunders of their last two outings to extend their lead in the championship. McLaren and Mercedes will be the prime threats to Red Bull as the three outfits will get the ball rolling in Budapest next week.
