Red Bull Racing mocks McLaren: 'Keep dreaming'

The McLaren team earlier posted a message on X on the Wednesday before the race weekend in the Dutch dunes with the text: “The Dutch capital is turning papaya,” with a photo of a McLaren fan and a Lando Norris fan. Red Bull Racing responded with a photo of hundreds of Orange- and hence Max Verstappen-fans, with the text: ‘dream on,’ followed by a kiss.

Formula 1 has been dominated by a fierce battle between Red Bull and McLaren for nearly two years. While Mercedes once posed the biggest challenge to the Austrian outfit, that role has now shifted to Zak Brown and Andrea Stella’s McLaren team. McLaren’s drivers currently hold a significant advantage in the championship standings, with Oscar Piastri leading and Lando Norris close behind. Max Verstappen sits in third place, trailing Piastri by 97 points and Norris by 88.
