Red Bull’s massive head start makes its F1 2024 pace no surprise – McLaren
Red Bull dominated last year, and its rivals were hoping to close in on the champion squad this season after a winter of development. Max Verstappen’s victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix showed that Red Bull might once again aim for an unbeaten streak. Despite McLaren’s struggles with the MCL38 car, Team Principal Andrea Stella remains positive about the team’s progress. Stella credited Red Bull’s success to early conceptual redesign, while McLaren focused on incremental improvements on their existing base. Although McLaren’s position may not be ideal, the team has seen significant improvements and remains competitive with Aston Martin and Mercedes.
