Max Verstappen doesn't want to accept Red Bull being caught by its Formula 1 rivals as an inevitability
Max Verstappen says his Red Bull Formula 1 team shouldn't accept the new reality of rival squad closing up as 'normal'. Red Bull enjoyed two dominant seasons under the current regulations cycle, but while starting on the front foot again with its RB20 it has now seen McLaren close the gap, with Mercedes and Ferrari competitive as well on circuits that suit their cars.
’ But of course, I don't look at it that way. 'We do have to keep working hard. If we think this is normal, people are going to overtake us.'

McLaren, I feel, just has a better balance, a strong front end, they can attack the corners well without the tyres overheating.
