Dips in form are common for athletes. But in Checo’s case, he doesn’t have that much time. With him already in his early 30s, he’s soon expected to no longer have age on his side. And with all due respect to him, not every driver is Lewis Hamilton, who continues to defy the odds, despite old age. And neither is the sport of F1 forgiving as young prospects appear every season.

Red Bull’s pursuit of championship glory

Whilst Red Bull has had seasons where they won constructors’ and drivers’ championships in the past. What they are yet to achieve is a feat that has only been done by teams like Mercedes. On top of the accomplishments mentioned, having a driver finish second in the driver’s standings. This does seem quite odd when considering how dominant Red Bull has been, and how one-sided the championships really have been.
