Johnny Herbert has warned Formula 1 fans could lose interest in the sport if Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team continue to dominate unchallenged.
The RB19's are head and shoulders above the rest of the cars on the grid in terms of performance this year. So significant is their advantage that the team has already switched development focus to their car for the 2024 season.
Red Bull are already 154 points clear of their nearest rivals in the constructors' standings. Verstappen has been responsible for six of their eight wins so far – team-mate Sergio Perez taking victory in the other two – and is on pole for this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
