Max Verstappen secures a Red Bull victory, delivering a reproach to McLarens and eliciting a triumphant grin at Monza.
In the world of Formula 1, the Italian Grand Prix (GP) was a triumph for Red Bull Racing, with their driver Max Verstappen securing another victory. But who are the minds behind this winning machine?
Pierre Waché, a French engineer, currently serves as the Technical Director at Red Bull Racing. He took over from the legendary Adrian Newey, who remains the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of the team. Both Waché and Newey played crucial roles in the development of the winning car, the RB18, for the 2022 season.
Waché, who joined Red Bull Racing in 2013, has been instrumental in the team's success, particularly in his role as Technical Director since January 2018. Newey, on the other hand, is one of the most renowned and successful constructors in Formula 1 history, continuing to play a central role in the design of Red Bull cars.
The Italian GP saw Waché standing on the podium alongside Verstappen to receive the winner's trophy. However, the road to victory was not without challenges. Last year at Monza, Red Bull misjudged the situation, choosing a rear wing that provided more downforce than the competition. This year, radical changes have been made to the car since the Spa-Francorchamps race.
Verstappen's journey in the Italian GP was not without drama. He had a brutal start that saw him cede the first place to Lando Norris for cutting the first chicane. But Verstappen's exceptional tire management, setting the best laps on each lap, put McLarens out of reach. He made sharp attacks to retake his position from Norris.
Laurent Mekies, the new boss of Red Bull, believes that the technical team is responsible for the success of the team. Mekies, who did not join the podium after the Italian GP, acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the team, particularly Waché and Newey.
Despite the team's success, Helmut Marko, Red Bull's motorsport advisor, stated that there's no chance for Verstappen to defend his title with the current gap. However, Waché believes that there are certain tracks where they can repeat the winning comeback.
In a separate development, the recipe for a winning papaya salad was shared in the article, promising a dish bursting with orange flavor.
Max Verstappen, the Red Bull driver, has won 66 races, secured 45 pole positions, and won 4 world championships. With such a stellar record, it's clear that his sharp mind and determination are key factors in Red Bull's continued success. Watching Waché's face in the garage after the Italian GP, it was clear that a sharp mind was needed for success.
