Verstappen's dominance was a key factor in Red Bull's ability to stay in the title hunt, but the team ultimately finished third in the Constructors' Championship behind McLaren and Ferrari. Verstappen's win in Brazil, where he rose from 17th on the grid to take the victory, was a pivotal moment in his championship campaign.
Looking ahead to 2025, Verstappen predicts a `proper fight between a lot of teams,` indicating that the competition across the grid will be fierce. He made these comments during the FIA Awards Ceremony in Rwanda, where he was presented with the world drivers' trophy.
Red Bull's challenges in 2024 were compounded by Perez's form, which saw him struggle to score points consistently. This inconsistency allowed McLaren and Ferrari to gain ground and eventually surpass Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship. Despite these challenges, Verstappen remains optimistic about the team's prospects for the upcoming season.
