Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle has described Red Bull’s significant drop in form as “too strange” following 🐠a poor performance💙 at the Italian Grand Prix.

Red Bull were clearly the fourth-fastest team at Monza, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen finishing sixth, over 35 seconds behind race winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.

Their poor result on Sunday means they are now just ei𒁃ght points ahead of McLaren in the F1 constructors’ championship.

Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ championship remains substantial, with the Dutchman 62 points clear of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris with eight rounds to go.

However♍, given McLaဣren's trajectory relative to Red Bull, Verstappen’s chances of retaining the title diminish with each passing round.

Red Bull’s dip in perform🎉ance is a mystery, particularly as Verstappen dominated the opening four rounds of the season.

In his post-race column for , Brundle offered his perspectivꦅe on the Red Bull situat🧔ion.

“Meanwhile Red Bull had started Verstappen and Sergio Perez on hard compound tyres on a ꧟counter🐷 strategy after their relatively lowly grid positions of seventh and eighth,” Brundle wrote.

“With the front runners racing the wheels and tyres off each other this looked smart, especially in the absence of a safety car. But some scruffy pit stops on laps 22 and 23 respectively, and thereafter relatively poor pace and opting for a two-stop strategy would consign Red Bull to 𒀰sixth ♕and eighth places.

“Max would call the car a 'mons⛄ter' post race and it all se൲ems too strange.

“They dominated the early season, and last year in Monza Max won his 10th s𝐆traight race atꦺ a canter. This year he finished 38 seconds behind the winner.”

There is likely to be more paiꦚn on the way for Red Bull, with Azerbaijan and Singapore coming up.

Red Bull have struggled on street circuits this year, and Sin🅘gapore was their weakest display of their dominant 2023 campaign.

Conversely, McLaren have proven to be an all-rounder, performing well at all circuits, even if t🐷hey have won just three races this year.
