For the first time since the current regulations were introduced, Red Bull finds itself in a genuine title fight.
Barring a brief challenge from Ferrari at the start of 2022, the Milton Keynes-based outfit has cruised to the constructors' championship the past two seasons.
The same can be said for Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship after claiming the first of his hat-trick of titles in contentious circumstances in 2021.
Verstappen leads Lando Norris by 78 points in the standings, but nothing is certain based on McLaren currently having the strongest package.
It is significantly closer in the constructors', as McLaren is only 42 points behind Red Bull. As a result of Red Bull's recent struggles, its chief engineer Paul Monaghan has called for the team "to pull together".
Will Red Bull overcome its current difficulties and win both championships or will it walk away from this season with nothing?
