Red Bull's staggering record for the most points scored in an F1 season has been heavily backed to fall this year, to the hands of McLaren.
In a recent RacingNews365 poll, fans were asked to vote as to whether they believe Red Bull's record-breaking 2023 total of 860 points will be broken by McLaren this year.
The Woking-based outfit already boasts a 238-point lead in the constructors' title over Ferrari, with a second consecutive crown looking increasingly likely.
Between them, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have scored 460 points across the first half of the season.
If the McLaren duo can match this in the second half of the year, the papaya squad will end the campaign on a record-breaking 920 points.
Given the performance of both drivers and McLaren's MCL39, 79.6% of those who voted believe Red Bull's record will be broken.
In more detail, 35.2% expect the record to be broken by over 40 points, something it is currently on track to do.
28.4% believe McLaren will break the record by between 20-40 points, whilst 20.4% back Red Bull's record to stand.
