Overview

• In F1 he trails Oscar Piastri by 69 points and Lando Norris by 44 with seven events left, with 199 points still on the table including sprints.
• Red Bull’s recent step is widely tied to a new RB21 floor and underbody introduced at Monza, where Verstappen won before taking a Grand Slam in Baku.
• Team boss Laurent Mekies says Red Bull is back in the fight and will spare no effort to pursue the championship in 2025.
• McLaren’s recent missteps have trimmed their margin, and Andrea Stella says Verstappen remains absolutely a contender as Singapore serves as the next benchmark.
