Charles Leclerc has warned that Max Verstappen and Red Bull are
very much back in the mix, with the Dutchman not "leaving anything
on the table".  Red Bull has made huge strides since introducing a
new floor at the Italian GP and is unbeaten since fitting the
upgrade to Verstappen's RB21.  Verstappen has won back-to-back
races, reducing his deficit in the drivers' title to 69 points with
seven rounds remaining.  It has also brought Red Bull back into
contention for second in the constructors' championship, a position
Ferrari has held for much of the campaign.  However, recent
struggles has seen Ferrari fall to third behind Mercedes, while
only 18 points separate the Silver Arrows, the Scuderia and Red
Bull in fourth. Other than McLaren, Red Bull is the only team to
have won multiple races this campaign, with Ferrari still yet to
claim a grand prix victory in 2025.  Verstappen and Red Bull's
recent form has convinced Leclerc that the Milton Keynes-based
outfit has moved ahead of Ferrari in terms of performance, although
does not believe it is back to dominating the sport. "I think Max
is not leaving anything on the table, that's for sure," Leclerc
told select media, including RacingNews365 .  "I think they've done
a big step forward with the car, and they are now at a very strong
level as well.  "I don't think that it's been a very smooth weekend
for McLaren in the last two races. So, I don't think that Red Bull
is now dominating again.  "I think it's very close between McLaren
and Red Bull, but Max is doing a better job at the moment."
