Lando Norris says Red Bull and Max Verstappen’s recent resurgence is anything but surprising, and believes McLaren has made much bigger steps of its own over the past few years.
After the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, Verstappen trailed the championship lead by 104 points, but with five rounds remaining that deficit has shrunk to 40. The turnaround comes as Red Bull continued the development of its 2025 car longer than McLaren, and understands how to extract more from the RB21 as well. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko confirmed an interesting theory about ride height, which has been linked to the Monza floor and an improved understanding of the car’s behaviour.
