Red Bull championship bid FAILING as F1 team DEMOTED
Red Bull’s dominance in Formula 1 is facing challenges despite Max Verstappen securing his fourth consecutive drivers’ championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
While Verstappen clinched the title after a season of eight wins, his fifth-place finish in Vegas and teammate Sergio Perez’s 10th place further dented Red Bull’s bid for the constructors’ championship.
Mercedes stole the show in Las Vegas with a stunning one-two finish, led by George Russell.
The strong performance reinforced their push in the standings and left Red Bull struggling to maintain its grip.
Ferrari also capitalized on Red Bull’s struggles, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finishing third and fourth, boosting their chances of claiming their first constructors’ title since 2008.
McLaren, another top contender, saw Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finish sixth and eighth, respectively.
Despite this, McLaren remains 24 points ahead of Ferrari and a significant 53 points clear of Red Bull in the constructors’ standings.
The reigning champions now face a steep uphill battle to achieve a third consecutive championship double.
Elsewhere, the midfield battle heated up as Haas overtook Alpine to claim sixth place in the standings.
Alpine had briefly risen to sixth following a remarkable double podium at the Brazilian Grand Prix but struggled to maintain momentum in Las Vegas.
Haas capitalized on the opportunity, thanks to a strong performance from Nico Hulkenberg, highlighting the tight competition among the teams vying for valuable positions in the championship.
Red Bull’s disappointing results in Las Vegas have raised concerns about their constructors’ championship hopes.
While Verstappen’s individual brilliance continues to shine, the team’s inability to consistently deliver strong finishes across both cars has put their title defense in jeopardy.
With McLaren and Ferrari surging ahead and Mercedes asserting themselves, Red Bull’s chances of reclaiming the top spot appear increasingly slim as the season progresses.
