It is no coincidence that the new technical cycle began by producing a car not up to the talent of Max Verstappen, the only superstar left in Milton Keynes.

Red Bull has been very strong for a long time, and now some want something new,” said the South Tyrolean on Drive to Wynn. “Red Bull is still strong at the moment: it is the fourth force, so it’s not bad. It’s just that it’s no longer winning everything.”
