The 2024 season of Formula 1 season is complete with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen taking the driver's championship and McLaren taking the constructor's championship after 26 years of struggle. This year was the most unexpected season because usually the team winning the driver's title will also take the constructor's title.
Apart from the 2021 season since the start of the hybrid era in 2014 every time Mercedes won both driver and constructor titles. Red Bull also won both the titles in 2022 and 2023 seasons. McLaren emerged out of nowhere with some new upgrades and became the fastest car on the grid dominating Ferrari and Red Bull.
Red Bull Boss Christian Horner has now given a verdict regarding next year's Formula 1 season which will be the last season with the current engine regulations. Christian feels the 2025 season will be a tight contest and could be a four-way battle between the top teams.

He said “Congratulations to McLaren, to all the men and women there. We know how hard it is to win a constructor world championship and the dedication and effort that has to go into that, So Zak and Andrea and their shareholders, but most of all the men and women at McLaren, congratulations.”
Red Bull was in the lead of the constructor’s championship during the early stages but after the Miami Grand prix, everything changed upside down and suddenly, McLaren started winning races. Red Bull driver Max stopped winning and Sergio Perez moved outside the top 10. Max won in Brazil after 10 races and the driver's championship in Las Vegas. Checo could not recover his lost form and was completely out in all races.

Red Bull Boss Predictions
He also predicted the final season of the current engine regulations. Horner said, “It's going to be massively close next year. You’ve got at least four teams that are going to be in contention - in the last year of these regulations- of winning Grand prix. So I think the biggest winner will be Formula 1 next year. We will have Lewis Hamilton fighting for Ferrari, and he could go for his lost championship. Max Verstappen will also fight for the 5th consecutive title, and Lando will go for his maiden drivers championship. Everything is possible in war and Formula 1.
