Red Bull technical director explains why “I'm not confident for '25”
“Iꦍ'm not confident because I think the others are very quick"

Red Bull’s techn𝐆ical director is “not confident” for next season - but insists his atti🃏tude will benefit the team.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen wrapped up his fourth F1 drivers’ championship in a row but Red Bull have come under huge pressure from McLaren this season, the dominance🤡 of last year vanishing.
McLaren and Ferrari have oꦫverhauled Red Bull in the constructors🅠’ championship.
Ultimately, Red Bull’s strong start to 2024 was key to Verstappen withst♔anding Lando Norris’ challe✃nge to win the drivers’ title.
Technical director Pierre Wache told&n꧅bsp;about the recent improvement to the RB20: “I think we are happy with what we have done quickly.
But Wache said: “I'm not confident for '25.
“I'm not confident because I think 🌠the others are very quick or are there. It will be a fight🀅 for the full year.”
The man in charge of developing Red Bull’s 2025 𝓀car - who will have extra scrutiny on him due to Adrian Newey’s exit - believes his mentality will serve the team well.
“If you have confidence in this bus💫iness, you are de﷽ad,” he said.
“Y📖ou have to work hard, and everybody has to,🥀 in the team, work hard. Everybody's working hard.
“When you see the number of people we ha༺ve trying to find a very small amount 🐭of performance and add and add and add everywhere, it is a very difficult task.
🀅“I have a lack of confidence, because if Iꦗ have confidence, you go to sleep, you don't go to work, and then you don't find performance.”
Verstappen endured a s🍸hock 10-race winless run as Norris threatened to pip him to the title.
But Wache now knows the moment th♕at they understood the RB20’s issues.
“I think clearly Monza was a key point and a wake-up🔯 point on our side,” he said.
“It highlighted some issue on♉ the car that we didn't see before... or we saw, but we suspected and guessed.𒅌”
Next year, McLaren, Ferrari and 🃏Mercedes will hope to test Red Bull’s resolve.
Newey, meanwhile, will begin work at Aston Martin whose longer-term goal is toꦐ develop the best car for the 2026 rules.
