Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's McClaren resurgence have piled pressure on Red Bull to make rapid improvements, with Max Verstappen facing an increasingly uphill battle to win a fourth world championship. Red Bull have made a late call to scrap a car change that was expected to debut at the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix Max Verstappen has had his championship lead cut short as he bids to win a fourth world title Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have led McClaren's resurgence this season A special livery change that would have altered the colour and appearance of Verstappen and team-mate Sergio Perez's vehicles was set to be showcased across two races starting in Singapore. 'Unfortunately, when we came to the testing phase of what some REBL CUSTMS designs could look like in real life on the RB20, we found the paint used to create these bespoke, full car takeover liveries added unforeseen and undue weight to the bodywork of the RB20,' Red Bull said in a statement via the Express.
