According to Adrian Sutil, Red Bull is leading the pace with its 2010 car because the team is "smarter than everyone else".
Although driving for the rival Force India team, and not enjoying the benefits of a legally flexing front wing, the German driver is open in his admiration for the championship-leading outfit.
"You have to push the rules as far as you can," he said in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport. "And Red Bull have been smarter than everyone else.
"Somehow they manage to do everything a little better," added the 27-year-old German.
Sutil acknowledged that while Red Bull's spending is more powerful than Force India's, the old formula of a whopping budget does not explain their success.
"I think Herr Newey has very special skills," he said.
"For me, the Red Bull is an incredible car," added Sutil, also refusing to criticise the Milton Keynes based team for passing the flexibility tests whilst clearly enjoying the benefits of a flexing front wing.
"If you notice nothing in the tests, then they have done nothing wrong. That's just clever," he said.
