The Red Bull team is definitely not idle in an attempt to catch up with Mercedes. After the zeperd in Monza, in which the team scored zero points and had no speed, Mugello was able to perform significantly better. Alex Albon claimed third position.
Due to problems Max Verstappen did not even make it to the end of the first lap, his second DNF in a row, but can be satisfied with one thing: the speed of his car. Never before this season has the gap with Mercedes been as small as last weekend at Mugello – the more sour it was that Verstappen retired again.
Verstappen had a new floor, which according to The Race would be good for a time gain of 0.15 seconds per lap.
