Red Bull is still in the running to defend its Constructors’ Championship title, but it lags 53 points behind McLaren in third place going into the last race in Abu Dhabi due to setbacks with the RB20 car. Although Verstappen clinched the Drivers’ Championship early, Perez’s struggles make a double championship seem unlikely for Red Bull this year. Verstappen aims to use the remaining races to identify and address issues with the RB21 for the 2025 season, acknowledging that recent performance has not been as strong.
