F1 legend Nigel Mansell feels that losing Adrian Newey has cost Red Bull its dominance over the grid. The Austrian team has outperformed every other team in the ground effect era as the cars produced by the aero wizard were ahead of their time, and no one in the field could seem to keep up.
This was one of the reasons why Max Verstappen and Red Bull dominated and won the title in 2022 after early season competition from Ferrari and Charles Leclerc. In 2023, the team and driver took dominance to a whole other level with Red Bull losing just one race in the entire season. Max Verstappen also won 19 races in the year, setting a new record for most wins in a season.
The 2024 F1 season also began on a strong note but things didn't pan out Red Bull's way as soon as McLaren introduced the major upgrade in Miami. Since then, Max Verstappen has faced competition from Lando Norris, and in the last few races, the Dutch driver's car has even been 3rd or 4th fastest.
