Red Bull Rattled by Norris' Surprising Surge.

Posted 1 months ago

After winning the Dutch Grand Prix, Lando Norris called it "pretty stupid" to think about winning the world championship. However, his commanding victory on Max Verstappen’s home turf has definitely raised concerns for Red Bull.

After the race, Red Bull’s motorsport adviser Helmut Marko described Norris’ win as "alarming," highlighting concerns not just for the constructors’ championship, where Red Bull is already struggling, but also for the drivers’ title.

Despite Max Verstappen’s 70-point lead, his recent form is worrying, with no wins since the Spanish Grand Prix in June.

Verstappen admitted this weekend was a tough one and acknowledged that the last few races haven’t been great. He stressed the need to improve but remained calm, noting the complexity of F1.

Norris’ victory was the second-most dominant of the year, with only Verstappen’s Bahrain win surpassing the 22.9-second gap Norris had over him at the finish line.
