The fight for the F1 title is heating up – RacingNews365’s technical expert Paolo Filisetti details how the McLaren vs Red Bull fight could shape up at the final six events.
The US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas restarts the season next weekend, reigniting the title fight between McLaren and Red Bull after a month-long break. The sprint weekends at COTA, Brazil, and Qatar could heavily influence the title outcome, alongside the varying track characteristics of upcoming circuits. With 18 rounds completed, assessing the final races will involve examining car behavior at previous events and studying the layouts of the next six races, rather than recent trends. McLaren’s flexibility with the MCL38 might give them an edge over Red Bull’s RB20, especially considering the potential upgrades. In Mexico, Red Bull historically excels, but McLaren could benefit from the aerodynamic demands of the track. Brazil’s Interlagos circuit provides a unique challenge, requiring a balanced car and skillful handling through its distinct sectors, creating an opportunity for McLaren’s performance. Las Vegas prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, a factor that favors McLaren and could play a crucial role in their performance on the circuit.
