Lewis Hamilton believes McLaren can beat Red Bull in the F1 title chase, citing Sergio Perez's struggles at Red Bull. Mercedes has won three races recently, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton taking top spot. Despite their resurgence, Max Verstappen remains 78 points clear of Lando Norris in the drivers' standings.
Red Bull's lead in the constructors' championship is fragile, with McLaren only 42 points behind. Sergio Perez's lack of form could see Red Bull's rivals close the gap further. Zak Brown, McLaren CEO, also sees a challenge for his team in the second half of the season.
