MELBOURNE : Red Bull stand poised to shrug off their Australian Grand Prix hoodoo on Sunday and continue their domination of the Formula One world championship as rivals struggle for pace.
"It's always nice to ... experience Melbourne a little, although from a racing point of view, it is not one that has been too kind to us over the years," said double defending champion Verstappen, who was forced to retire during last year's race due to a fuel problem. An unprecedented fourth DRS Zone at Albert Park this year - between turns eight and nine on the 14-corner lay-out - could play further into Red Bull's hands.Once-dominant Mercedes, whose drivers George Russell and seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and fifth respectively at Jeddah, are"storming full steam ahead" to bridge the gap after realising they got their car concept wrong.
Ferrari, however, have their own problems, with drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc lamenting a lack of pace after finishing sixth and seventh respectively in Jeddah.
