McLaren are wary about the prospect of Red Bull being an even more potent force in F1 during the upcoming 2024 season.
In 2023, Red Bull dominated the Formula 1 season, winning 21 out of 22 races and securing both world championships. McLaren had a remarkable comeback in the middle of the season and became Red Bull’s closest competitors, but Red Bull shifted their focus to the 2024 season early, leaving McLaren concerned about the future. Red Bull’s lack of car development in 2023 raises doubts about their performance in 2024, but McLaren remains confident in their own progress and believes they have a chance to close the gap with Red Bull. McLaren’s team principal suspects that Red Bull may have accumulated developments for their future car and expects them to remain highly competitive. Ultimately, McLaren’s vision is to continue improving their own performance and gradually reduce the gap with their rivals.
