Russell: Red Bull are holding back so the FIA ​​doesn't slow them down

Author of the article: , published April 4, 2023

George Russell says that Red Bull's drivers did not show how fast their RB19 car really is because the team from Milton Keynes were afraid that the umbrella organization would slow them down.

The Mercedes driver predicted that Red Bull's car will win each of this year's 23 races, so far his prediction is correct, as Verstappen or Perez have won all three races so far.
The Briton believes that the team of the Austrian manufacturer of energy drinks is as well aware of the past cases when F1 intervened and changed the rules in order to slow down a dominant racing car.

"They're definitely holding back," Russell claimed after the race. "It's almost embarrassing for them to show their full potential, because the faster they go, the more the leaders of the sport will try to slow them down. Realistically, they probably have an advantage of around seven tenths of a second per lap ahead of everyone, and Max has no reason to show everything, neither does Red Bull. To be fair, they did a great job, no one can deny that. The rest of us have to improve.”
