What we are seeing this season, with the exception of a few races especially at the beginning of the championship, is a Red Bull that is distantly related to the one that dominated the scene far and wide in Formula 2023 in 1. Even in the Hungaroring event, penultimate before the summer break, the RB20 suffered in the comparison with McLaren which to date is without a doubt the most complete and fastest single-seater on the grid.
Max Verstappen, who showed signs of nervousness in Hungary due to the lack of competitiveness of the Anglo-Austrian car, admitted in all honesty that Red Bull is currently behind a McLaren that has improved race after race until Piastri scored a double. -Norris last weekend.
“We have to work – declared Verstappen, quoted by Formula1.com – I mean, it’s not like suddenly next weekend at Spa we will be able to have new updates on the car: it’s a problem”.
The reigning world champion then added: “We know we are lacking compared to McLaren and obviously it’s not nice, but we need to analyze our things to improve our current package overall. But I don’t think it’s something very easy to do. We’ll see next week how it evolves, but at the moment, I think the race pace, the qualifying pace puts us behind McLaren.”
