So far, Red Bull Racing aare on a roll. Only Max Verstappen's DNF is a blemish on the otherwise dominant Formula 1 season. The Austrian team was also incredibly strong in Japan. Verstappen does think there will be circuits this season where things could get trickier for Red Bull.

Where everyone was hoping to be treated to an exciting battle in the world championship, that illusion seems to be over after just four races. Even after Verstappen's retirement in Australia, the Dutchman was still at the top of the championship.

Whether there is then hope for the other teams to win is unclear. Last year, Red Bull visibly struggled in Singapore. Consequently, this was the only race the Austrian team failed to win in 2023.

Accordingly, Verstappen says: "I think looking at the history so far, street circuits are, in general, a little bit more difficult for us. I do think that our car has improved a bit, in the low speed. But, of course, on a street circuit, it's not only low speed. It's drivability, it's kerb riding, riding, like, over the bumps. So, general ride of a car. So, these things are still a little bit unknown at the moment of how well we have improved on that. So, we have to wait and see."
