Red Bull’s upgrade coincided with Verstappen’s improved results
Reports linked Red Bull’s major upgrade to a sharp change in Max Verstappen’s 2017 season after he had considered the possibility of finishing the year without a win around Monza. After narrowly missing out in Baku, he then won in Malaysia and Singapore during the next triple-header.
Both reports said Max Verstappen had been seriously considering the prospect of ending the Formula 1 season without a single victory around the time of Monza. They contrasted that outlook with how his campaign developed later in the year.
According to the reports, Verstappen came close to winning in Baku before converting improved form into victories in Malaysia and Singapore in the following triple-header. The story was framed around what Verstappen knew about the impact of Red Bull’s major upgrade when he signed his new deal.
The outlets presented those results as a marked contrast to the beginning of his season. No further confirmed details beyond that framing were provided in the supplied excerpts.
