[Early access] How Max Verstappen destroys his F1 team-mates

It’s not that Max couldn’t handle the car it’s just that they finally reached a point where the front end response was compromising overall balance by increasing the mid corner understeer. That’s just slower irrespective of who is driving the car. I think it was more pronounced in 2024 as it was the third year of development in a stable set of regulations. Each year we see Max pull away from Checo as the season progresses. It would undoubtedly be easier to understand the development path in year 3 vs previous years. In 2024 they were able to get to this point of diminishing returns.

Good luck Liam. Hopefully the powers to be at Red Bull haven't set the bar too high for you.

What makes it that in 2024 even Max couldn't handle the car anymore, whereas that wasn't the case in '22 and '23? All 3 seasons had a similar start with Checo being on the pace and then dropping off as the season progressed, but only in '24 Max struggled too as the season went on. I like the analogy Edd used, regarding Checo being the canary in the coal mine from Imola onwards.
