Verstappen dominated F1 2023, winning 1𒈔9 of the 22 races, ultimately winning the title by an astonishing 290 points.

Red Bull nearly🍬 went through the entire season invincible, only failing 💧to win the Singapore Grand Prix.

Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 review show, Brundle - who scored nine podiums during his F1 career - e♛xpressed his main hope for 2024.

“That Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, aℱll the ๊rest, all the other nine teams get their act together and put some pressure on Max Verstappen,” he said.

“They’ll be closer. I think we saw it through the season. When the regulations a🔥re static, it alway🌞s happens. So let’s hope so.

“But, you know, the next big regulati🌠on change is in 2026 so it’s not out of the question that Red Bull could dominate this꧅ phase, including ’24 and ’25.

“But it’s up to the other teams to stop them.”

Naomi Schiff - who was appearing on the show alongside Brundle - added: “We don’t want to see one driver winning 19 of 22 rac🃏es. 

“We want to see more different race winners, more teams in t🌌he mix for that top step oꦦf the podium, and just get more action on that top step.”
