In the 2023 Formula 1 season, Red Bull is the undisputed favourite, winning 12 out of 12 races. The team has amassed more than double the points of its nearest competitor and is eyeing McLaren's 10 record with 1988 races left to go.
One reason Red Bull has been so successful is because it has a good car. The team had no problem adjusting to the new rules and has the fastest car this season.
Another reason for Red Bull's success is that they have a good roster of drivers. Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez are two of the best drivers in the world and are vying for every race win for the team this season.
Red Bull's dominance has led some to want the FIA to intervene. Former F1 driver David Kennedy wants the FIA to change the rules to lessen Red Bull's dominance.
“We've seen the FIA do this in history, they did it when Michael Schumacher had the upper hand,” Kennedy said. “The FIA has made a number of changes, especially in qualifying: by determining what you can use in qualifying, what you can use in the race, and they have done everything to stop that dominance. Of course, that definitely has a detrimental effect on the sport.”
Kennedy's concerns are justified. The fact that Red Bull is so dominant reduces the excitement of Formula 1. Everyone knows the outcome of the season, which makes the sport less interesting.
