Racing Bulls’ technical director has expressed strong approval of Red Bull Racing’s inaugural power unit after testing it on their VCARB 03 car during a private session in Barcelona. The team highlighted the unit’s excellent driveability and performance throughout the test.
This marks the first time Red Bull’s power unit has been used outside their own team, providing valuable data and feedback for both Racing Bulls and Red Bull Racing.
**Why this matters**
The positive assessment of Red Bull’s power unit by an independent team underscores its potential competitiveness and reliability ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 season. Successful integration and performance in private tests can influence development decisions and strategic partnerships within the sport.
