The Red Bull have introduced various upgrades in the season for its RB18 to take the fight to the leaders ahead. The team based out of Maranello are yet to introduce substantial upgrades that can increase their dominance in 2022. Jean Alesi assessed the two constructors by saying “My belief is that you can’t really talk about a Red Bull advantage over Ferrari. There really will be developments, but big miracles will remain out of the question and this season will remain exciting for a long time.”

The Miami Grand Prix witnessed a front-row lockout by the Ferrari in the Qualifying session. The reigning world champion, Max Verstappen started in P3 and overtook Carlos Sainz in P2 in the first corner of the first lap itself. Alesi analysed this by saying “His hesitation at the start I think was dictated by the accidents he suffered. Next time he will behave differently.”

The 2022 season with fresh rules and regulations has definitely provided better racing opportunities for the drivers. Each team and driver learn more about their machinery at each race weekend. The season still entails a prospect of 18 races yet to come with Red Bull and Ferrari locked in a battle for the remainder of the season.
