Red Bull's recent defeats has hinted at a fight for the championship, if not for the drivers’ then for the constructors title.

However, McLaren driver Oscar Piastri revealed that his team were missing a key ingredient in their fight with Red Bull.

"I think there have been good moments here and there, even at the start of the season,” Piastri said to the media.

“I think the first few rounds were quite promising, a couple of difficult races in the middle, but on the whole, I feel like I've taken a good step forward in quite a few areas from last year. I think it's just been the consistency that's really been the missing thing."

"So the last few weekends have been good to try and get on top of that. But I don't think I've done anything special.”

"I don't think as a team we've really done anything special. We've just got the car in a good window. And with the upgrades, clearly it's performing well. So yeah, I think we're all just taking it up a notch."
