Max Verstappen warns Red Bull is going through a rebuilding phase, but hopes it won’t face another long wait for a title..
Max Verstappen believes that Red Bull needs to undergo another phase of rebuilding in order to compete for championships in Formula 1 again.
The team has experienced a significant decline in performance this year, with Verstappen himself describing the RB21 as slow and difficult to drive.
Red Bull has only scored 194 points after 14 rounds, less than half of what they had achieved at the same point last season when they were leading the constructors’ championship.
Verstappen sees this dip in form as a natural part of F1’s cycle of competitiveness, comparing it to the team’s previous rebuilding phase before their last title win.
He acknowledges the need for restructuring and understanding within the team, emphasizing the importance of time but expressing confidence in their ability to bounce back.
