Since the start of the 2022 season, Red Bull’s rising star has been ruling the Formula One world. He has demonstrated that he is an exceptionally talented driver in accordance with the present regulations, and McLaren has sent a clear message about their intention to win the fourth world championship.
The American driver publicly stated that he thinks there are other drivers on the current grid that are capable of taking home the championship in a Red Bull vehicle. He even acknowledged that it would have been challenging for Max Verstappen to win a title if he had been driving for a different team.
Brown was blunt in his evaluation of the reigning world champion. He genuinely thinks that a good number of drivers competing in the current Formula One season are capable of winning a world championship. There is an enormous amount of expertise on the grid, from youthful talents to past winners!
Zak Brown said that Max Verstappen’s teammate is not the ideal opponent to fight him for the world title, even though he somewhat minimised Verstappen’s supremacy in Formula One.
Verstappen has 136 points after six races in the current season, whereas Perez has only managed 103.
Three different race winners have emerged thus far in the 2024 Formula One season. The McLaren driver recently outperformed Verstappen in Miami, while the Ferrari driver won at Albert Park. Considering all of this, the current season is turning out to be more erratic than anticipated.
Already, the formidable Red Bull team has had two underwhelming performances that have had major repercussions. Given the emergence of teams like Ferrari and McLaren, it’s likely that the upcoming races, which begin in Imola, will feature some shocking revelations. If Verstappen and Red Bull are to keep their lead in the standings, they can’t afford to make mistakes.
