Red Bull’s car lacks balance and, with the rest of the field gaining on points, both world titles are therefore at risk
was almost visceral. The world champion is unafraid to speak his mind and he did so to damning effect in Monza, condemning the car as an undriveable monster that might cost him a fourth title. This might be considered hyperbole were it not for the fact that Verstappen has been warning of this for months and Red Bull still have no solution, which suggests the Dutchman may be right and they do have a real problem.
Yet what Monza and the preceding races have proved is that the wheels have come off the machine. Conspiracy theorists have made much of the FIA declaring the use of an asymmetric braking system illegal and it was even reported Red Bull had been using such a system but the team were not, nor does their supposed removal of said system correlate with the downturn in form.
The team have had to try to improve their package because standing still is not an option. Having been so dominant for two years Red Bull are reaching the limitations of how much more they can eke out of the design of the car but are having to push hard to do so because McLaren have surpassed them and both Mercedes and Ferrari are now champing at their heels.
The team held crunch talks in Monza on Saturday to try to find a way forward but with Baku and Singapore coming up, neither of which are going to present an easy challenge for their car, they can expect little respite.
