George Russell has made the eye-catching claim that Red Bull has emerged as the team to beat in Formula 1 after the recent triple header, but do you agree?
Across the Azerbaijan-Bahrain-Singapore races, Max Verstappen won the latter two, claimed both poles and also won the Singapore Sprint. In Baku, he finished just 0.196s short of beating Russell to the win.
Verstappen scored 76 out of a total points haul on offer of 83 across the three races, and following Singapore and Verstappen's first Marina Bay win, Russell claimed the RB22 machine was now the car "to beat" over the rest of the season.
But do you agree?
