Red Bull Racingis the dominant team in Formula 1 this season. The Austrian racing stable managed to win every race so far. As a result, Toto Wolff has hinted that he thought Red Bull's supremacy was too great.

The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez lead both the constructors' and drivers' championships by far over the rest of the teams. The new regulations have clearly been good for the development of Red Bull Racing's car.

Criticism of dominance

Among the other teams, there is now growing dissatisfaction. Toto Wolff has repeatedly spoken out about Red Bull's dominance. In an interview with Motorsport.com ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Verstappen responded to a question about Mercedes' team boss at the beginning of the hybrid era not bothering with boring races due to dominance: "Toto was winning himself then, so of course that's why you didn't hear him. In football, sometimes you also have very boring matches and then, on the contrary, great matches. You can't manipulate everything to create excitement."
