Mercedes boss Toto Wolff doesn't believe the Red Bull penalty will have a 'big' bite... 'It certainly gonna bite them a bit but, if they are efficient as an organisation, which they’ve demonstrated, it’s not going to be big' F1

Red Bull may enter 2023 as defending Constructors’ Champions, with Max Verstappen aiming for a third successive Drivers’ Championship, but the Milton Keynes-based squad have an additional hurdle to worry about this year.

But, as well as Red Bull having to worry about the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari becoming stronger competitors, the team must get by on considerably less wind tunnel and CFD time allowance. The purpose of this, together with F1’s budget cap, is to, in theory, allow for a closer field of cars.
