Since the Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have managed to secure four podium finishes, with Hamilton achieving pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July. Despite these achievements, the team has yet to challenge Red Bull, who have dominated the season by winning all 13 races so far.
Charles Leclerc, a Ferrari driver, recently suggested that Red Bull’s current dominance may continue until F1’s major regulation changes take effect in 2026. Max Verstappen’s 36 wins in the last 57 races have contributed to this perception, considering his title-winning debut season two years ago.
