Red Bull team boss Christian Horner recently talked about the amount of effort his team needs to put in to fight for the championship against McLaren. He said that the Austrian team would be working late at night at their factory to resolve their performance concerns.
Red Bull continued their dominance at the start of the 2024 F1 season. However, as the season progressed, other top teams like McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari drastically closed the gap to the defending world champions. Red Bull themselves started facing issues with RB20, which was first reflected in Sergio Perez's poor performances after the Miami GP.
During the European leg of the season, the Austrian outfit was overtaken by McLaren in terms of overall pace. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri started picking up their first few race wins in F1, and even pressurized the dominant Max Verstappen.
