Max Verstappen is expecting the field to be closer in the 2024 Formula 1 season but admits that he is
In the past season, Max Verstappen dominated with a record-breaking 19 race wins, securing the title with five rounds to spare. Red Bull won almost every race, except for one, due to limited competition from Ferrari and Mercedes. Aston Martin and McLaren showed promise, but inconsistent performances. Verstappen expects more competition next season, with McLaren being a potential contender. Ferrari’s strong performances in qualifying proved that Verstappen’s championship victory wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. Verstappen aims to win his fourth consecutive title in 2024 and hopes to close in on Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 wins with a record 24 rounds scheduled.
