Red Bull tipped for more F1 defeats after "more moments like this" prediction made
David Croft has m💙ade an exciting prediction for the remainder 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 ye🐼ar, giving fans an exciting season.
Norris clinched his first win in F1 in Sunday’s Mi🉐ami Grand Prix.
While the British driver was handed the lead of t💟he race due to the fortunate timing of the Safety Car, Norris 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 forꦗ Norris to take his first victory having been close on a number of o💫ccasions.
It now means two of the opening six races haven’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, Crof🉐t made an exciting prediction that there will be more great 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 to help their ra🅠ce pace as well.
“Others are making gains. As La🃏ndo said before th🍸e race, we’re fifth on the grid which sounds rubbish but we’re two tenths behind.
“That’s the key. They’ve closed that time🅠 gap. We will see more moments like this this year compared to last year.”
Red Bull remain the team to beat in 2024, alth🌊ough McLaren and Ferrari are chasing them down.
McLaren introduc꧅ed a significant upgrade in Miami, which was only on Norris’ car.
Similarly, Ferrari will do the same at🍸 Imola as they look to cut Red Bull’s advantage down significantly.
The drivers’ championship s🥃tandings remain rel🍬atively close due 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 b♑ack from the second Red Bull driver.
N💖orris and Sainz are on 83 points apiece in fourth ꦑand fifth.
