Current form
Red Bull kicked off the 2024 season with a pair of one-two finishes and four victories from the opening five races, but they have won just one of the last three as rivals Ferrari and McLaren ramp up the pressure.
Indeed, Max Verstappen was beaten to the chequered flag by Lando Norris via a mid-race Safety Car in Miami, while last time out on Monaco, Charles Leclerc starred all weekend on home soil to add to the title race intrigue.

It was clear that Red Bull’s RB20 struggled to get to grips with the tight, twisty nature of the Monte Carlo track, as well as the many bumps and kerbs, which will also be a feature at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve this weekend.
With a three-team championship fight looking more and more possible, the margins at the top of the standings are now suitably tight – Verstappen leading Leclerc by a reduced 31 points and Red Bull only 24 ahead of Ferrari.
It’s all to play for as we head into the second third of the season…
FAN VIEW: There is good support as ever for the Aston Martins of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, and for RB’s rising Japanese star Yuki Tsunoda. The Haas pair of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg are fancied to go well in Canada, while there is also a fair bit of backing from F1 Play gamers for Valtteri Bottas (Kick Sauber).
