Lando Norris achieved a stunning race victory at the Miami Grand Prix, managing to keep the Dutch champion at bay to claim his maiden win.

The Brit also came close to a second victory in Imola, closing in on Verstappen during the final laps of the race, but the Red Bull star managed to hold onto his lead.

Are Red Bull finally beatable?

McLaren have gradually gained on Red Bull this season, finishing +0.725s behind Verstappen in Imola, and are hopeful they can start challenging the Austrian team regularly.

Whilst Red Bull are still the favourites to take the championship, it cannot be denied that the RB20 possesses more flaws than its predecessors.

Verstappen revealed the weaknesses of the car compared to their competitors ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

“It depends a bit on the track. The last few races we've been driving on circuits with very little tyre wear, and that's definitely not in our favour,” the champion said to the media including GPFans.

“If you go to circuits where you have to do at least two stops, it's normally better for us. Most teams normally have more trouble keeping their tyres whole, especially the rear tyres. But the last few races it was more limited at the front, and that's a little less for us.”

“They are very strong on certain tracks that are a little less for us, and maybe we are very strong again on other tracks. I always have a bit of a feeling that at the beginning of the season there are not all our ideal circuits. Suzuka has emerged, which is obviously a good season for us. But most circuits are normally not optimal for us.”
