Red Bull Resurgence: United States GP Marks a Turning Point as Verstappen Extends Lead Over Norris

United States Grand Prix Marks Shift for Red Bull | "Instability Resolved"

"Max's victory over Lando and gaining points on him seemed like a pivotal moment, signaling that Red Bull's instability has come to an end."

Ted Kravitz, a commentator for Sky Sports F1, feels that the United States Grand Prix marked a "pivotal moment" for Red Bull, asserting that their "inconsistency has ended."

Max Verstappen increased his advantage in the championship standings to 57 points ahead of Lando Norris, following a strong showing throughout the weekend at the Circuit of the Americas.

Starting from pole position, Verstappen controlled the sprint race and later secured a third-place finish in the main event.

Despite needing to defend his position against his championship competitor Norris, Verstappen managed to secure a spot on the podium.

Red Bull implemented several enhancements before the weekend, and the three-week hiatus between the Singapore and USA events provided them with an excellent opportunity to analyze their challenges.

During the most recent episode of the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Kravitz shared his reasons for believing that Verstappen is poised to clinch the championship this year.

"The Bulls are back in action," he declared. "They have overcome their challenges and resolved their difficulties. They've progressed, which is why Max is set to become this year's world champion."

Matt Baker, who co-hosts the podcast, promptly noted that Verstappen completed the race 19 seconds after the victor, Charles Leclerc.

Kravitz responded by saying, "I believe that everyone assumed he was just in third place. There seemed to be a certain demeanor among the Red Bull team, as well as something particular about Max's attitude."

The manner in which Horner, the head of Red Bull, expressed himself suggested to me that they had made improvements. It seemed like over the past three weeks since the Singapore race, they had discovered something new.

"While they haven't completely reached their peak yet, Max has been outperforming Lando, accumulating more points. This seemed like a pivotal moment, signaling the end of Red Bull's instability."

Verstappen is likely to feel assured about increasing his advantage in the championship once more in Mexico City.

He has secured victories in Mexico five times before, specifically in the years 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023
