Red Bull dominance creates “big pressure” for Mercedes to poach key staff - Martin Brundle

Red Bull have started F1 2023 in blis🔯tering fashion, scoring 1-2 finishes in the opening two rounds of the season.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez finished 25 seconds clear of Fernando Alonso in third at Jeddah despite there b🦩e🧜ing a mid-race Safety Car, highlighting Red Bull’s dominance.
Writing in his post-ra✅ce column for Sky Sports, Brundle thinks teams will be under extra pressure to make new signings in a bid to improve their fortunes.
“Red Bull's dominant speed has put many teamsꦅ and their key personnel under big pressure, not least Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren,” Brundle said.
“I've rarely witnessed such a broad challenge across so many teams and they'll be looking to hire experience♛d talent from other teams, who are themselves still feverishly protecting the people they already have under contract and col♚lecting up other talents.
“Add in Audi (currently Sauber Alfa Romeo) on a major recruitment crusade ready for 2026 and, despite the cost cap,💞 it's a seller's market for people who know how a F1 team and car really works.”

Reflecting on the race itself, Brundle praised Perez for beating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to the win - the first time their pair ha🌟ve 1-2 with the Mexican in froܫnt.
“Perez out front matched whatever his team-mate Verstappen could musꦉter speed-wise and duly won the race in fine style,” he ꧒added.
“His fifth victory,🎃 four of which have been on street circuits - 🙈but more significantly his first victory when Max was second.
“Verstappen stole the fastest lap championship point on the final tour and that clearly annoyed Perez, who was surꦐprised the team didn't call off the fight when they had a one-two easily in the bag and he was suffering with a longer brake pedal, and unbeknown to him, Max was feeling a vibration in his transmission.”
