The Red Bull F1 team has steamrolled its competition during the ongoing campaign. The outfit has performed in a league of its own and the FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been left very impressed with their performances. The Milton-Keynes-based team has won all the races so far in the 2023 F1 season.

Max Verstappen has proved too mighty behind the wheel of the RB19 and has already created a decent gap between himself and the chasing pack. Moreover, the Christian Horner-led team is miles ahead in the Constructors Championship in comparison to teams like Ferrari, Aston Martin, and, Mercedes.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem was recently asked to share his thoughts regarding the Red Bulls’ dominance, and he told Sky Sports, “If we go about what’s good and bad we’ll open the door. I mean, was it good for Mercedes? Fair enough? It is (Verstappen’s) time, it’s Red Bull’s time. What do we do … punish the good kid? No, let’s go and make the other teams good.”

“Nobody’s stopping the other teams from being better. We cannot punish people for being better, for trying harder. That is unfair.” Sulayem has praised the Austrian outfit and ardently believes, that Red Bull can’t be punished for doing a better job than the other nine teams at the pinnacle of motor racing.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem has not shied away in any way from praising the Red Bull F1 team, they fully deserve the praise that they have received so far in the season. The RB19 has proved too mighty this season and it’s all thanks to Adrian Newey and Co. for coming up with a monster of machinery for this year.

Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have won all the races so far in the 2023 F1 season and the way things have been panning out for the team, they could all the Grand Prix events this year. The chances are very high as Verstappen has looked just too good and Perez has also got a knack for coming up with the goods after every few races.

The British Grand Prix is just around the corner and considering the impressive outing that Red Bull had in Austria, Silverstone could prove to be a repeat of the same. However, the track characteristics are such that it will suit most of the top teams and it could prove to be a close race at the top end of the grid.
