Question marks for Red Bull: 'They really don't have an answer'

After a disappointing weekend in Mexico Mercedes hit back in Brazil. Lewis Hamilton overtook Max Verstappen in the championship and Mercedes closed the gap on Red Bull Racing. Tim Glock wonders if Red Bull can still come back in the final races.

Compliments for Hamilton and Verstappen

Glock looks back in his column for Sky Sports looks back on a crazy weekend. "It was incredible what happened with Mercedes, with the disqualification and the engine change. To fight back like that was impressive. Big compliments. Hamilton didn't let anything get in his way. He drove a hell of a sprint race, drove a hell of a race and showed great overtaking manoeuvres."

Hamilton is not the only one who can count on compliments from Glock, according to the German former Formula One driver Verstappen also did well this weekend. "He really gave everything to not let his rival pass him. We saw really great and hard races - which sometimes were maybe a bit too much of a good thing, but that's part of it because at the end of the day it's all about the championship."

Does Red Bull have an answer to Mercedes?

The big question, according to Glock, is where the power from Hamilton's new engine came from. "The question marks can be seen in all camps. Especially with Red Bull of course, which really has no answer." As a result, we can expect an exciting battle in the coming races. "As Red Bull have said, with Mercedes' top speed advantage they don't really stand a chance on the upcoming circuits - especially with the long straights."

In any case, the battle for the championship is still completely open. "Even now, when it feels like it's going back to Mercedes. It fluctuates from weekend to weekend. The question is whether Mercedes can maintain this power with Hamilton through the rest of the season. Then of course it becomes difficult for Red Bull, but I'm very curious to see how it develops."
