Red Bull tipped for more F1 defeats after "more moments like this" prediction made
David Croft has made an exciting prediction for the remaౠinder of 2024 following Lando Norris' first win.
Sky Sports commentator David Croft is confident the 2024 F1 season will throw up “more moments” like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ maiden victory compared to last year💝, giving𝄹 fans an exciting season.
Norris ಞclinched his first win in F1 in Sunday’s Miam🌞i Grand Prix.
While the British driver was han🦄ded the lead of the race due to the fortunate timing of the Safety Car, N▨orris dominated the race after that point.
From the moment he got past 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez on Lap 19 in Miami, every lap after that, Norris was faster than 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
It ended a long wait for Norris to take his first victory having been close on a number of occasionsඣ.
It now means two of the opening six races h🐭aven’t been won by Red Bull.
Compared to last year, Red Bull won 14 consecutive races before 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz's win at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Speaking after the race in Miami, Croft made an exciting prediction that there will be more greꦕat moments - like Norris’ win - in 2024.
“Two out of six races have not been won by Red Bull,” 🔜he said. “We’re seeing McLaren come to the fore with the upgrades they’ve brought here and continuing that challenge.
“Taking it to Red Bull, upgrades seemingly work at the track. Oscar will have those upgrades in full next time out. Red Bull have sacrificed a little bit of qualifying speed t𝓀o help their race pace as well.
“Others are making gains. As Lando said before the ༺race, we’re fifth on the grid which sounds rubbish but we’re two tenths behind.
“That’s the key. They’ve๊ closed that time gap. We will see more moments like this this year compared to last yꦐear.”
Red Bull rema🦩in the team to beat in 2024, although McLaren and Fe🔯rrari are chasing them down.
McLaren intro𓆉duced a significant upgrade in Miami, which was only on 🧸Norris’ car.
S🃏imilarly, Ferrari will do the same at Imola as they look to cut Red Bull’s advantage down significantly.
The drivers’ championship standings remain relatively close d𓆏ue to Verstappen’s DNF in Australia.
Verstappen is 33 points ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc is just five points back from the seco🅷nd Red Bull driver.
Norris and Sainz are on 83 points apiece in fourtꦬh and ♐fifth.
