The Australian driver, Daniel Ricciardo, is rumored to be joining Red Bull and is considered the leader of VCARB. He comes from a family of drivers and has close ties to the reigning champion. Ricciardo has been vocal about the changes made to RB19’s successor and has expressed his admiration for Red Bull’s approach and productivity.
Having previously been a driver for the Austrian constructor, Ricciardo has a deep connection with the team. Despite his departure, he appreciates how Red Bull has developed their 2024 challenger after a dominant 2023 season. Their use of aerodynamic elements on the RB20 surprised everyone in the paddock and Ricciardo commends their continuous efforts to reach new heights.
The Australian driver is a fan of Red Bull and admires their relentless pursuit of success. Unlike other teams, Red Bull does not become complacent when they are winning and constantly strives for improvement. While some may find their dominance boring, Ricciardo believes it should be admired in some way.
Although there have been instances of teams copying each other in the past, the current allegations regarding VCARB are different. Both teams are owned by Red Bull, and Ricciardo dismisses any claims that the sister team is the same as RB19.
Despite the team’s identity crisis, Ricciardo is confident in their technical staff and resources. He believes that the team will forge a partnership with Red Bull similar to other teams, but with more control over their own resources.
On a different note, Ricciardo is currently preparing for the season opener in Bahrain. Historically, he has not had much success at this track but he aims to learn from past mistakes and perform at a high level during the race.
