Windsor emphasized the consistency and margin Verstappen displayed during the race, pointing out the Dutch driver’s ability to maintain consistent lap times within a tight range. He suggests that Verstappen had additional performance in hand, as evidenced by his ability to push even in challenging conditions. Windsor also noted that Mercedes’ car appeared to have some bouncing issues, as mentioned by Hamilton after the race, indicating that there is still room for improvement.
Mercedes has already pursued a different design philosophy with its Monaco upgrade, and further substantial revisions are planned for Silverstone. However, Windsor questions whether these upgrades will be enough to challenge Red Bull’s dominance, suggesting that Red Bull can focus on saving resources for next year’s car.
