At the beginning of the season, Max Verstappen and Red Bull had a strong hold on F1.

However, McLaren and Ferrari have made significant progress with updates to their cars, challenging Red Bull’s dominance. The RB20 struggled on different tracks, particularly in Monaco, where Verstappen finished sixth behind Charles Leclerc. Handling issues with curbs and bumps have been a recurring problem for Red Bull, raising concerns for upcoming races in Canada, Spain, and beyond.
