The first third of the Formula 1 season has been completed. looped &agrav; Monaco two weeks ago. Eight races out of twenty-four were won. contested, and, surprise, this 2024 world championship reserves a little more suspense than expected. Of course, Max Verstappen, winner &agrav; five times (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, & Emilia-Romagna), remains the big favorite to win a fourth world crown but his domination is not yet over. #39;is not as strong as it was a year ago. It must be said that by winning 19 out of 22 Grands Prix in 2023 – a new record – the Dutchman had placed the very high bar. This season, the three-time world champion's Red Bull is less dominant. This is all the more true since three races which saw three different drivers triumph. If he had crossed the finish line first in Emilia-Romagna on May 19, Verstappen was beaten. dominated by Lando Norris à Miami (May 5) and by Charles Leclerc à Monaco (May 26) where he had to settle for a very unusual sixth place.

Last season, Red Bull won the championship. the first eight Grands Prix (and even the 14!). This year, Ferrari, twice, and McLaren have already won. put &agrav; badly undermines the hegemony of the Austrian stable. Is it &agrav; say that Verstappen is worried à to be successful in his quest for a new title? Probably not, but the redistribution of the cards in recent weeks should alert him. In Canada this weekend, on the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit in Montreal (where showers are expected), the Batavian will once again be the man to compete. beat. But its rivals, first and foremost Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, now know that the RB-20 is no longer untouchable. And çthat changes everything. After two races in Europe, & Imola and Monaco, the Formula 1 world championship will make a stopover in Canada this weekend before returning to the old continent.
