Third one-two victory for Red Bull, Ferrari the second force

It’s the third one-two victory in four races for Red Bull, which now puts 21 points between itself and a Scuderia Ferrari team that is increasingly asserting itself as the second force and a threat to the RB20 cars of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

The Maranello-based team has averaged 30 points in the four races so far, clearly ahead of a McLaren that has performed admirably.

Struggling to gain momentum is Mercedes, which remains ahead of Aston Martin by just one point. It’s been a truly disappointing start to 2024 for the Brackley-based team. Another point for the Racing Bulls, bringing them to a total of seven ahead if the Chinese Grand Prix.
