McLaren are getting closer, but Max Verstappen and Red Bull remain an unstoppable racing match.
McLaren has made great strides in F1 2023 to reel in the dominant Red Bull, but tyre wear remains a key barrier.
And with McLaren’s Lando Norris, runner-up to Verstappen in the Brazil sprint and Grand Prix, noting that he was slipping back from the Dutchman after “10-15 laps” of initial strong pace in his stints, team boss Andrea Stella has concurred that tyre management is the key advantage which Red Bull hold over McLaren.
“It’s a significant amount of degradation and if you can limit that, after 10 laps in a stint, this is tenths of a second, so I think that’s where they are superior at the moment.“The car has improved with the Singapore upgrade in terms of tyre management, but not enough to be able to compete, especially when degradation is high. And we saw some other cars degrading quite a lot, like Mercedes, Ferrari.
