Renowned F1 expert sees the title race for 2024 as wide open, considering the impressive performances of McLaren and Ferrari.
Despite only eight rounds completed in the current season, Red Bull has already lost three Grand Prix races. In the 2023 campaign, they failed only in one event, the Singapore Grand Prix.
Following the Monaco event, Ferrari is now just 24 points behind Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship. Additionally, McLaren is quickly closing the gap. Brundle attributes Red Bull’s performance decline to internal conflicts within the team this year.
In Monaco, Verstappen finished in sixth place, while suffered a DNF (Did Not Finish).
