In recent years, Red Bull Racing have risen to become the pacesetters in Formula 1. The Austrian racing team have dominated the sport in unprecedented fashion.

Through the 2023 season, Red Bull have coasted to victory in 16 of the 17 races held so far, and it is hard to look beyond them winning the remaining five races on the calendar.

The Milton-Keynes team, which has undoubtedly become a source of reference for other racing teams on the grid, became the first team in the history of the sport to record 15 straight victories, dating back from Abu Dhabi in 2022 to the Italian Grand Prix in 2023, per a report from Honda Global.

As the Formula 1 season heads to the United States for the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), it's hard to imagine any other team challenging Red Bull for their 17th win of the season.

Leading up to the Grand Prix at COTA, Mexican driver Sergio Perez shed light on the key to his team's unparalleled success in recent years.

Perez on Red Bull's success

In an interview, the 33-year-old, who has secured victories for Red Bull on two occasions this season, discussed the secrets behind the team's dominance.

Speaking via @redbulletin when quizzed about the secret to the Austrian team's success, the former Racing Point driver highlighted the team's overall consistency.

"I think the team is working well, and that when something is working, you don't need to change anything. That's one of the things that makes this team so successful."

Perez also highlighted Red Bull's meticulous attention to detail, acknowledging their strengths in various areas.

"Red Bull really goes into a lot of detail. They are very strong in most departments: tires, suspension, aerodynamics. That combination with the engine makes it very, very solid, and there are always things that we keep improving. Even if we win a race, there are so many things that we could do better."
"That's what makes Red Bull very special."

While Max Verstappen's recent outstanding performances are a testament to the team's incredible work, Perez's recent struggles have raised concerns. It is anticipated that Perez will aim to turn his fortunes around at this weekend's Grand Prix at COTA.

Formula 1 US GP Preview

In a previous report, Sports Brief touched on key details and previews ahead of the US Grand Prix in COTA.

Despite Red Bull and Verstappen already having secured a third successive crown this year, there's still much at stake for the rest of the field, including Sergio Perez, who is facing an ultimatum to save his 2024 seat, as reported by Brazilian outlet Geglobo.

Lewis Hamilton will also fancy an outsider's chance to secure his first race victory since Jeddah 2021.
