Spanish Grand Prix: Max Verstappen offers F1 advice on how to curb Red Bull’s dominance
ax Verstappen has told Formula One how it could consider putting a halt to the dominance of his Red Bull team.
All six races of the 2023 season have been won by the Anglo-Austrian outfit with championship leader Verstappen taking four of them, including last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.
F1 is now in Barcelona for the second part of a double-header and Verstappen has outlined why a constantly changing rulebook - which was most recently altered to combat Mercedes’ superiority - can have adverse affects.
“On dominance, we have always seen this in Formula One, it is nothing new,” he told reporters at the Spanish Grand Prix.
“The longer you leave the regulations the same the closer people will get, so maybe this is something we need to look at.
“You have the odd year or two years where there are two or potentially a third team fighting although when you look at the 1980s, 90s, the 2000s, early 2010s it has been pure dominance of certain teams.”
Many in the paddock believe Red Bull are capable of winning every race this season - and Verstappen agrees.
“How it looks at the moment, I think we can,” he said. “But that is very unlikely to happen.
“There are always things that can go wrong or a retirement or whatever but purely on pace at the moment it looks like [it’s possible].
“But we will always get to tracks where it doesn’t work out, or bad luck in qualifying and you make your own mistakes.”
