The story of the 2024 Formula One season is "What has happened to Red Bull?" from McLaren MP4-4 levels of dominance last year, to a season that has seen eight race winners, and a ten race streak without the energy drink company on the top step of the podium.
So who better to analyse why, than a man with a PhD in Fluid Mechanics, who also happens to be a fan of the Milton Keynes based team? Dr Obbs joins F1Blag to discuss the technical and sporting reasons why Red Bull has been engulfed by the pack, and why - for a while - it looked like McLaren's Lando Norris had a genuine chance of snatching the World Drivers' Championship from Verstappen.
