Zak Brown drew attention to something interesting. According to the team principal, it is not only McLaren that has become very strong in recent times, but the negative effects of the problems affecting Red Bull Racing at the beginning of the season are only now starting to peak.
According to Brown, the structural structure of the great adversary is struggling with serious problems and will slowly fall apart:
"The chaos we saw at the beginning of the year is slowly starting to have its effect. The car they are using now was built last year, when everything was in great shape. But in 2026, the new rules will come, the new power unit will come, it is also a big question how the team's drivers will develop, and that is when the lack of stability will really become apparent. The latter is already noticeable, the structure is really cracking... The victories are still holding things together, but as they are faced with increasingly greater challenges, these cracks will multiply.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing, because next season could bring amazing things. It could easily happen that four teams will have a say in the championship battle at the same time. And I say, let's not rule out those who are not in the top four right now..." - Zak Brown gave the fans extraordinary hope.
