The reigning champions, Red Bull, started the season strongly with Max Verstappen claiming seven victories in the first 10 races, positioning them well for another double title triumph.

The team’s struggles reached a low point at Monza, where Verstappen’s sixth-place finish exposed balance issues with the RB20 car. Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, sees the Monza race as a turning point, helping them identify and address the root cause of their performance problems. Despite recent improvements and promising results in races like Singapore, Red Bull acknowledges they have work to do to catch up to McLaren and ensure Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ standings remains safe. Horner remains optimistic, affirming their commitment to fight for both championships until the final race of the season.
