Red Bull Racing, which dominated most races in 2023 and started the 2024 season well, has witnessed a winless streak of six rounds recently due to balance issues on their RB20 car highlighted by Team Principal Horner during the Monza race weekend. The team is struggling with a disconnect in balance affecting their performance, leading to tire wear problems and a vicious cycle of adjusting balance. Despite Max Verstappen’s belief that the car was initially a “monster,” the team is now behind McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes after a strong start in 2024. Horner acknowledged that data from last year’s United States Grand Prix also indicated balance limitations, showing an issue that needs urgent attention. Red Bull faces pressure in both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ championships as they strive to address these problems quickly to maintain their position in the standings.
