Whats the biggest strength of Red Bull that can help you win the championship this year?

I think its the people, the attitude, the culture, the spirit… Its a people sport, and its a people team. Obviously, weve had a good start to the season, but we have to keep that momentum running. Racing against such a big brand as Ferrari is unique. Its great for Formula 1 that were competing against Ferrari at such a high level. To be honest, its refreshing to race against another competitor, but Mercedes will be back – no doubt. 

What can you do to follow the cost cap-related rules, which seem to be not a straightforward task because of global inflation?

Fueling a car racing passion with a loan

Do you imagine yourself racing in the IndyCar Series or Formula 1? It’s free to dream, especially if you are passionate about this sport. Although you may not get to the pro level and join international competitions, you could still race in domestic events and feel the adrenaline rush on a local race track. But while you may not build a career in motorsport, fueling your car racing passion could still be expensive. One of the primary questions you ask is: How much car can I afford? 

Car racing is very costly, with the primary expense being the vehicle in itself. Even if it’s just a weekend hobby you feel very passionate about, you must still invest in equipment and gear. And let’s not forget the rising costs of fuel! If you’re considering becoming a professional racecar driver, know that the road to becoming professional hinges on more than just talent. You need a network to support you and generous sponsors on board to make it to the big leagues. More importantly, you must invest your time to achieve your goals. 

But you could still live out your dream if you’re just an average guy looking to start and continue your car racing hobby. Often, the financial component is the barrier to entry for many aspiring racers. Although they feel motivated and emotionally ready to invest time in honing their racing skills, the soaring equipment costs and racing fees are too prohibitive. Thankfully, you can still keep your dream alive with the help of a loan. The biggest hurdle is getting a vehicle. Fortunately, you can solve that with a car loan. Here’s what you need to do to raise funds to finance your racing vehicle:

Find a Specialist Who Can Help

It is a special area of the market when you’re considering buying a sprint vehicle or racecar. Most lenders may need more requirements to help you finance that race car you’ve coveted for the longest time. You need more funding when you buy modern GTs, sports prototypes, single-seaters, or even historic race cars. 

Lenders are not created equal. When it comes to expensive race cars, financial institutions offer different rates and terms. You have several options like in-house financing from the dealer, bank loans, credit union loans, personal loans, online lending, or peer-to-peer lending. Get quotes from various institutions so you can compare.

Has the update to F1 cars made for competitive racing?

The 2022 Formula One season started with the Bahrain Grand Prix on 20th March, with 20 newly designed cars lined up on the grid. Red Bull started as favourites, but in truth, no one really knew what to expect at the Bahrain International Circuit, as the impact of extensive new regulations was yet to be tested under race conditions.

Why The Regulations Changed

When the FIA, the sport’s governing body, first set out to rewrite the technical regulations, they had one aim. To increase overtaking and create more wheel-to-wheel, high-speed racing for fans to enjoy. 

Other factors were also addressed, such as costs, environmental impact, and creating a more level playing field for all teams. But overtaking was the overriding consideration for regulators, keen to maintain Formula One’s status as the number one global motorsport.
