World champion Max Verstappen is not sure if Red Bull has caught up with the previously dominant Ferrari team. But when asked if Red Bull managed to leapfrog Ferrari in the 2022 hierarchy, the Dutch driver admitted: “It’s always difficult to tell. “Leclerc was pushing to be in the DRS window and then he made this little mistake with a stupid ending,” he said. However, he acknowledged that Red Bull’s car improvements appear to have made an impact and “we have to acknowledge that”. Leclerc made a mistake all by himself, which you can’t do when you’re competing for a title. “Verstappen doesn’t make these kinds of mistakes anymore,” Villeneuve said.
