Max Verstappen's father, Jos Verstappen, has cast doubt on the driver's prospects to win the title in 2025 owing to Red Bull's late-year form. The 2024 F1 season was an interesting one where the Austrian team was at its dominant best at the start of the season. Things, however, did start taking a turn for the worse as the season progressed.
The major point that completely shifted the momentum was the Miami upgrade brought by McLaren, which shot the team to the top in terms of performance. From that point onwards, the Red Bull continued to regress, making it hard for Max Verstappen to stay competitive against the likes of Lando Norris and others.
It took a lot of methodical driving from Max Verstappen, where he had to change his approach to focusing just on scoring the maximum possible points from every weekend and pulling off some brilliant races, like the one in Brazil that helped him clinch the title with a few races to spare.
