Zak Brown has identified a key weakness in Red Bull's F1 title credentials.
Zak Brown has urged McLaren to capitalise on Red Bull having just one car scoring big points asPerez’s difficult run of form continued in Sunday’s race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as he finished eighth.However, due to Perez’s stuttering performances, Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ championship is greater than Red Bull’s in the constructors’ championship.
Brown feels there’s an opportunity for McLaren to close in - something that wasn’t seen as remotely possible after the season-opener in Bahrain.“Ferrari is definitely within reach but so is Mercedes and Red Bull, if Perez picks up the pace, then they’ll be very hard to compete . “So I think we got to kind of take advantage of the fact that at the moment, Max is at the front and Sergio is running in the points. That might give us an ability to claw into that lead a bit.It was 12 months ago when McLaren turned their fortunes around with a sizeable upgrade in Austria.Since then, McLaren have consistently been a podium contender - or race win challenger.“Excited for a lot of races, more races the better as far as I'm concerned,” he added.“We remain very focused.
