In Bahrin the surprise was Aston Martin. The green box put a car on the track faster than two teams as powerful as they are ferrari and mercedes. It is not that they were a threat to Red Bull, but they were seen as the strongest rival in this start of the 2023 season.
According to the controversial Red Bull adviser, it’s all because Dan Fallows he has a very good memory. The technical director of Aston Martin was the head of the aerodynamics department of the energy panel and according to Marko is responsible for the fact that the AMR23 supposedly looks like RB19.

Now it turns out that now a joke

Let’s remember that Marko has not been the only one who has thrown taunts against the Silverstone team. Czech Prez I made a comment on the same line. “It’s nice to see three Red Bull cars on the podium,” he said after the Bahrain Grand Prix. While, horner, director of the Milton Keynes team, redundant in the same. “I think it’s flattering to see the resemblance of that car (the AMR23) to ours, so it was great to see all three of them on the podium,” he emphasized.
In addition, in AlphaTauri They have also attacked Aston Martin. The Red Bull subsidiary, through its boss Franz Tost, was just as stinging in his remarks. “The Aston Martin looks like the Red Bull because Aston Martin signed half of the aerodynamicists at Red Bull. Of course, they build the same car and paint it green,” he added.
