Red Bull easily secured both F1 titles this season, but CEO Stefano Domenicali anticipates a more competitive landscape in 2024. Despite Red Bull’s dominant performance and a head start in car development, concerns arise about a potential lack of title race excitement in the upcoming season.

Domenicali, however, is confident that the balance of power will shift, as the competitiveness among teams fluctuated throughout the previous season.

The notable progress made by McLaren further supports the expectation that defending champions Red Bull will face a tougher challenge in 2024.

Domenicali believes teams are aiming to showcase their engineering prowess and improvement capabilities.

He acknowledges the forthcoming two years as crucial, leading up to a significant 2026 rules update that could potentially reshape the championship dynamics, similar to the impact of the 2022 regulations on Mercedes.

Domenicali commends Max Verstappen’s impressive performance and maturity, highlighting McLaren as evidence that effective car development is possible under budget constraints.

Despite the close qualifying times observed in Abu Dhabi, he acknowledges that race pace may differ, hinting at exciting changes to come in the upcoming season.
