The new engines in 2026 will shake things up probably. Don't despair. And remember that it's not just the car since Perez is not even consistently second with the same car. It's Max' brilliant, unrelenting perfection.

Thats why I alluded to the end of Max's contract rather than 2026; I know it's not just the car.

I'm not particularly convinced the new engines will solve anything, either. Not unless the rules change substantially. We are in an aero formula currently, the engines don't make a particularly huge difference.

Especially also considering Max is good enough that it won't be enough for another team to catch up - Red Bull needs to be behind for there to be competitive fights for the win.

I have a feeling we have several years left to go of Max strolling to victory and stifling a yawn as an unexcited "well that was simply lovely" comes over the radio.
