The Australian driver, Daniel Ricciardo, is rumored to join 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 the successor of RB19 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 challenger for 2024 after a dominant season in 2023. The use of aerodynamic elements in the RB20 surprised everyone in the paddock and Ricciardo praises 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 seeks improvements. Although some may find their dominance boring, Ricciardo believes it should be admired in some way.
While there have been cases 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 has confidence in his technical team and resources. He believes 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 hasn’t had much success at this track, but he intends to learn from past mistakes and perform at a high level during the race.
