Max Verstappen acknowledges that closing the race pace deficit with McLaren in the near future is unrealistic, despite a range of upgrades being implemented on the 2025 F1 car. The recent Miami Grand Prix showcased McLaren’s superior race pace over Red Bull, emphasizing the gap that exists between the teams. The introduction of new upgrades, including a new floor for Verstappen’s car and upcoming enhancements for both drivers, aims to improve performance for the European grand prix. Verstappen remains cautious about the expected performance jump and does not anticipate a sudden closing of the gap with McLaren. The technical directive on flexing front wings, set to impact teams in the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, may not significantly alter the competitive landscape according to Verstappen. Red Bull’s challenge remains understanding McLaren’s superior rear tyre management, a factor that continues to concern the team and requires further investigation to address.
