Verstappen Criticizes Car Amid F1 Championship Risk

Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing are facing significant challenges with their RB20 car, which Verstappen has described as 'undriveable' and a 'monster.' Following a disappointing sixth-place finish at the Italian Grand Prix, Verstappen expressed concerns about the team's ability to retain both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships, citing balance and grip issues. Team principal Christian Horner acknowledged the 'vicious circle' of balance problems and emphasized the need for urgent improvements. McLaren's Lando Norris has been closing the gap, reducing Verstappen's lead to 62 points and narrowing Red Bull's advantage in the Constructors' standings to just eight points. Verstappen and Horner both highlighted the need for significant changes to turn the car's performance around before the end of the season.
