McLaren’s dominant 1-2 win in Formula 1’s Miami GP highlighted their superiority in racing conditions, with a strong performance against rear tyre wear. However, Max Verstappen’s consistent pole positions raise questions about McLaren’s qualifying pace despite their strong race performance. Verstappen triumphed in Suzuka under specific circumstances, showing McLaren’s potential limitations in qualifying. While McLaren excels in races, their qualifying performance is more closely contested, with Verstappen demonstrating exceptional skill under pressure. Christian Horner praised Verstappen’s ability to perform in crucial moments, revealing a psychological battle between Red Bull and McLaren regarding their drivers’ Saturday performance.
