At the 2024 United States Grand Prix in Austin, both Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, faced significant challenges, struggling to keep their cars under control.

Meanwhile, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, already a dominant force in the 2024 season, continues to stir headlines with hints about his future plans. Though Verstappen remains focused on securing more championships, his remarks suggest a possible reconsideration of his career trajectory, raising questions about his long-term presence in Formula 1.

These include installing additional cameras at strategic points to monitor track limits more closely, a decision that follows recent concerns about safety and compliance during races.
On another note, former Red Bull technical chief Adrian Newey has come to the defense of team principal Christian Horner, who is under increased scrutiny amid rising pressure on the Red Bull team management.
