Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez had a disappointing weekend in Monaco, with the latter suffering an accident on the first lap. Red Bull started the 2024 season strong, but has since struggled to maintain its dominance. They have already lost three out of the eight races so far, leading Verstappen’s father to believe that their era of dominance may be coming to an end. The weekend was particularly tough for Milton Keynes, as Verstappen’s RB20 was challenging to drive, resulting in his loss of pole position and the race. Verstappen Sr. asked the team to prioritize more important issues. Despite this setback, Verstappen remains hopeful that Red Bull will showcase its brilliance in future races, but acknowledges that it will take time and effort to stay on top. He is curious to see how the team performs at the peak of motorsport. Perez’s performance in Monaco highlighted Red Bull’s declining form, as he failed to advance beyond Q1 and started the race from the back. In contrast, Verstappen managed to achieve decent results during the weekend. Verstappen Sr. believes it is crucial for Red Bull to identify the source of their problems, as rival teams like Ferrari and McLaren are closing in. The team must accelerate their updates during the season and aim for better results. Max Verstappen will continue to fight on the track to maintain his lead in the championship. This season has presented him with fierce competition from rival drivers, making the battle for the top positions intense.
