Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull, the technical analysis of the new cars. What emerged from the tests in Bahrain

The Red Bull RB19, a clear evolution of the car that dominated the second part of last season, the favorite to win the Bahrain GP (Sunday 5 March). We are very satisfied because we have rarely had such a positive pre-season, Helmut Marko said. The new weapon available to Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez proved to easily adapt to the new anti-understeer front tires brought to the track by the Pirelli, quickly shifting the balance towards the rear, after a first day with a lot of sliding and oversteering for the Dutch world champion. The strengths of the RB19 remain those of last season’s car such as excellent tire management, important top speeds and a Honda engine more than reliable. The most powerful? To be verified, given the important steps forward by Ferrari.
