McLaren boss Zak Brown has lashed out at the comments made by Red Bull chief Helmut Marko where he claimed that Lando Norris was 'mentally weaker'. The 2024 F1 season started on a positive note for the Austrian team as they enjoyed a dominant presence over the grid.

The situation, however, changed when McLaren introduced a major upgrade to the car in Miami. From that point onwards, the trajectory of both teams has been inverse, as McLaren, a team that hasn't fought for a title in a decade, continues to chalk up impressive performances. On the other hand, Red Bull, a well-oiled machine, is facing troubles with their car that has seemingly gotten worse as the season has gone on.
