Red Bull Upgrade Hits Snags

Red Bull’s big upgrade package hit a rough patch during testing, with Max Verstappen calling it “hit-and-miss” as the rear end proved unpredictable and costly in corners. Technical issues with engine management are directly impacting performance, echoing past problems from their sister team but now hitting the main squad hard. With major changes introduced at once, the car’s balance feels completely reset — back to square one — as previous race learnings aren’t translating. While the new floor and lighter design promise better downforce and weight, true potential won’t be seen until engine and balance are dialed in. The team’s goal? Close the gap to the leaders, and drivers believe the upgrade has driveability potential — if they can fix the car’s handling overnight.
