Red Bull currently holds a 24-point advantage over Ferrari in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship. The team’s strong performance from the previous year has continued this season, with dominant showings in the early stages of the championship. However, in recent weekends, the RB20 car has failed to replicate its previous success and has even struggled in races such as in Imola. Despite this, the Red Bull team principal remains confident that Max Verstappen will come back stronger than ever in the upcoming races.
Last year, Max Verstappen made history by winning an impressive 19 out of the 22 Grand Prix races. This led fans and teams to believe that he would have an even better season this time around, aiming for a perfect record. However, in the recent races, Red Bull has faced difficulties as their rivals have closed in on the Austrian team. In the last three races, Red Bull has only managed to secure a single victory against their competitors.
In contrast to recent trends, Fred Vasseur, the Red Bull team principal, remains cautious but optimistic about Verstappen’s future performances. He acknowledges that Verstappen made more mistakes in Imola compared to his three previous seasons, in which he clinched consecutive championships. However, Vasseur believes that one or two bad weekends should not be enough to write off Verstappen as a contender.
Vasseur enfatise que Verstappen reste une menace redoutable pour les prochaines courses. Pendant ce temps, Charles Leclerc de Ferrari a émergé victorieux à Monaco, ramenant l’équipe au sommet du podium au principauté après sept ans d’absence. Vasseur félicite l’impressionnante performance de Leclerc et reconnaît que cette victoire a soulagé la pression sur le jeune pilote, qui faisait face à des questions sur sa capacité à surmonter la « malédiction de Monaco ». La victoire renforcera également la confiance de Leclerc pour l’avenir.
Malgré l’optimisme de Vasseur, Ferrari est confrontée à une rude bataille avec McLaren. La lutte pour la deuxième place et potentiellement même pour la première place au classement des constructeurs promet d’être intense. Les fans peuvent s’attendre à une bataille passionnante pour le reste de la saison en cours.
