“The McLarens have gained a lot of pace”

« I didn’t watch much of the others this weekend, so I’m not sure why Red Bull was far behind in terms of pace. But I think it’s good to see what the others have… The McLarens have gained a lot of pace, it’s good to see that Ferrari have really accelerated too. Red Bull does not develop their car. And it is obvious that McLaren has brought an evolution here in Singapore » first confided the pilot of Mercedes in comments reported by NextGen-Auto.

“Red Bull is also working on next year’s car”

« Others are making changes, but Red Bull is also working on next year’s car. They have less time in the wind tunnel, so they’re probably using some of this year’s car on next year’s. They certainly migrated [sur la voiture de l’an prochain] before us. They are so far ahead that maybe they are developing their car less and we are still developing ours. But time will tell » then continued Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull would therefore be already getting ahead for 2024, while the 2023 season is not yet over.
