Max Verstappen expressed that Red Bull Racing seems to be surrounded by difficulties after some challenging weekends. At the beginning of the 2024 season, Red Bull Racing appeared to be the strongest team, with no close competitors. However, as the season progresses, the team is slowing down and encountering a series of problems. This has allowed rival teams to compete closely with Red Bull. Verstappen believes that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the team to overcome these obstacles.
Verstappen noted that Red Bull was focusing on multiple aspects. However, the Dutch driver emphasized that the team is not on the same path as their dominant campaign last season. The three-time world champion believes that it will take time for the team to recover from the current spiral of problems they are facing.
Despite the setbacks faced in Montreal, Verstappen is confident that Red Bull will overcome these difficulties by analyzing their mistakes and working to improve in the upcoming races. This optimism arises after Verstappen secured victory in the previous race.
After a challenging race event in Montreal, the Red Bull team director expressed appreciation for Verstappen’s efforts in winning the race, especially after facing setbacks in Miami. When asked about Verstappen’s performance, the team director stated that it was an exceptional race and Verstappen was performing at his best. The team director also praised Verstappen’s decision-making regarding pit stops during the race.
The team director further highlighted the issue raised by Verstappen during the race regarding the suspension when the track starts to dry after rain. As the car accelerates on the dry track, the stiffness of the car becomes more problematic.
Despite these setbacks, there is confidence within the Red Bull team that they will analyze their mistakes and improve. Milton Keynes will strive to overcome the obstacles faced in Montreal and work to address these issues and regain their peak performance. As a result, fans can expect to see Verstappen dominating in the upcoming races.
