Minardi shared his insights, saying, “I think the other F1 drivers can only start counting how many times the taillight of Max Verstappen’s car flashes. I don’t see much change at the front, I actually don’t see any opportunities for the others to beat Verstappen and Red Bull this season. The team is really good, and it will be difficult enough for the other teams to close the gap in the coming years.”
He emphasized the incremental nature of progress in Formula 1, highlighting that breakthroughs and improvements occur step by step. Minardi remarked that achieving success in Formula 1 is a lengthy and demanding process that many people often underestimate. As a result, he believes it’s challenging to predict where teams will stand compared to Red Bull Racing in the future.
