He has been driving an uncompetitive Red Bull this season, which has hurt his chances of clinching a record-equalling fifth consecutive World Championship.Max Verstappen pinpoints factor that has kept McLaren in a dominant state this seasonMcLaren showcased strong pace towards the end of the 2024 F1 season, which saw them clinching their first Constructors' Championship since 1998. The team successfully kept the momentum up as they worked on the MCL39.The car has unlocked the potential for Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to dominate the grid this season, winning races by a huge margin. The team also leads both championships with a wide gap.Max Verstappen, who was seemingly the only challenge Piastri and Norris had to face earlier this season, mentioned that the car's ability to conserve tires has given it the upper hand. He also claimed that their "medium speed" performance has helped the team."[The McLaren] is definitely better on its tyres, to keep the tyres alive a lot nicer. You can clearly see that in the wet on the intermediates, where if you have good tyre management, [tyre preservation] even comes out more on that tyre, because the tyre is more fragile," he told RacingNews365."It overheats even faster, and they definitely have that very well under control. At the same time, I think their medium speed performance is incredible compared to, I would say, everyone else on the grid."Max Verstappen clinched two early victories this season at Suzuka and Imola; however, the RB21 has since struggled to keep itself within the top.
