Verstappen's recent success

Max Verstappen has won two consecutive races, showing that Red Bull is regaining its strength in Formula 1. His performance at the Singapore Grand Prix was especially notable, as he finished more than seven seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc and set the fastest lap of the race.

Rivals' perspective on Red Bull

Günther Steiner, a former director of the Haas team, said that while other teams admire Verstappen's recent wins, they are not worried about the championship. Steiner explained that Verstappen still has a large points deficit and that the main concern for rival teams is how quickly Red Bull fixed its earlier season problems.

Verstappen's current position

Max Verstappen is currently fourth in the drivers' standings with 221 points, 119 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli. With only six races left in the season, his chances of winning a fifth consecutive world title seem very low, despite his recent strong performances.

Focus on the current season

Steiner warned that it is too early to judge Red Bull's chances for the 2027 season. He said that teams should focus on the current season and see if Red Bull can keep up its performance until the end. The upcoming United States Grand Prix in Austin will be an important test of the team's progress.
