The parallels between Red Bull's current form and the ending of Schumacher's F1 reign

OPINION: Red Bull's explosive start to 2024 is dwindling, as its RB20 machinery appears to have hit its peak to let other F1 teams close in. The combination of stronger rivals and mounting errors rather echoes those at the end of Ferrari's reign 20 years ago...

After a whirlwind opening to its 2024 season, the Formula 1 circus is currently settling into its long-awaited interval period. As it turns out, cramming 14 races into the span of five months requires quite a lot of effort to keep up with; it's not quite the same rate of races compared to 2020's COVID-enforced quick-fire calendar, but it certainly rivals it in travel time.

And the timing of the summer break rather left us at a cliffhanger, with the sort of dramatic licence that pundits espouse to be impossible to script, even though the storylines are probably the first thing that any screenwriter would include.
