Christian Horner shares a hilarious yet deprecating joke on how the size doesn’t matter regarding the 2023 F1 season regulations changes
The FIA made last-minute changes to plenty of regulations going into 2023, making Red Bull’s Christian Horner a bit uncomfortable.
Porpoising is still the talk of the F1 paddock. The FIA taking a series of measures to find solutions to this developing problem. One of them is the new regulations which are against the $517 million worth of Christian Horner’s philosophy.
The FIA hopes to limit the verticle motion of the cars to a bare minimum going into the next season. This gives an advantage to Mercedes, which is working on fixing it.
How the new regulation changes will benefit Mercedes instead of Red Bull
Christian Horner is against these regulation changes. It is mainly because, according to him, these will only benefit Mercedes and not the rest of the grid.
All the F1 teams will have to raise their car’s floor edges by 15mm. This is still very less compared to the 25mm as originally proposed by the FIA.
Horner’s team Red Bull is currently first in the constructor’s world championship with 431 points to their name. Moreover, one of his drivers, Max Verstappen is leading the world championship.
