The championship standings tell of a Red Bull in third place, the only team able to break McLaren's domination at the start to this F1 world championship, thanks to Max Verstappen’s victory at the Japanese GP. And yet, the start of the season for the Milton Keynes stable has not been so straightforward and simple, thanks to an RB21 that has not exactly given the expected feedback.
The aim was to simplify the RB20 and widen the operating window in an attempt to expand the set-up options for the team and drivers. However, despite some small improvements overall, the RB21 proved to be a complex and difficult car to drive, which is hampering Yuki Tsunoda, who arrived at Red Bull to replace a struggling Liam Lawson after only two races.
