The first two Formula 1 races in Melbourne and Shanghai have highlighted how Racing Bulls is getting more from the Red Bull-Ford power unit than Red Bull itself. The VCARB 03 cars achieve extremely high top speeds, making them difficult to overtake on straights. This stems from a unique operating philosophy that maintains speed in the final straight sections.
