The 2023 season was completely dominated by Red Bull, as the Milton Keyes-based team managed to win a record 21 races out of the 22 scheduled for the year. Red Bull clinched both titles in a season that foresaw further dominance in coming years.

Formula E World Champion Jake Dennis happens to be a simulator driver for the champion team. Dennis believes that Red Bull will win another championship in a ‘dull’ season with Max Verstappen winning his fourth title unless a rival team manages a miraculous development in minimal time.

I would expect us to become champions again, unless someone like Ferrari or Mercedes somehow manages to find about a second [per lap] overnight. I think it's going to be quite a dull season in Formula 1 with Max probably dominating.

Jake Dennis said, as reported by mirror.co.uk

Red Bull has lost only six races in the past two seasons, winning 38 out of the 44 races held in 2022 and 2023. Max Verstappen was responsible for 34 of the wins himself, winning 15 races in 2022 and another 19 in a lucrative 2023 campaign, setting the record for most wins in a year and then breaking it himself.

Red Bull technical director warns teams not to copy RB19

Red Bull has seen their best results ever achieved in the past two years, most significantly in 2023 where they exerted their technical dominance over the rest of the field. The primary factor behind their success was the RB19, a car that was the fastest at every single track but Singapore.

The development of the vehicle was led by Adrian Newey and the technical team, whose efforts paid off in 2023. Technical Director of Red Bull Pierre Wache has warded off competitors from copying the RB19’s design though, claiming that switching to a concept they know little of could be detrimental to their car development.

I think it’s possible to copy, but in every business in the world, when it’s technical, the ‘how’ is one aspect. The most important aspect is ‘why’. If you don’t know ‘why’, you can copy whatever you want, but it’s better to stay with what you understand.

Pierre Wache said, as reported by PlanetF1

The RB19’s successor, RB20, has been rumored to be even more dominant than the 2023 car. The challenger for the 2024 season may extend Red Bull’s gap to the field despite claims that the field will be converging this year.
