Red Bull’s Car Struggles in Hungary | F1 News

Red Bull’s Laurent Mekies admitted the team handed Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar a car that couldn’t truly push in Hungary, with Verstappen himself stunned to even finish on the podium despite battling oversteer and unseen damage. Mekies confirmed the car underperformed compared to Spa and Austria, feeling off-kilter even worse on Friday and Saturday than race day. Yet Verstappen was still second-fastest in pure pace—only Lando Norris was clearly quicker—hinting at untapped potential. But Red Bull’s narrow performance window and inconsistent car behavior remain major hurdles, leaving them fourth in the constructors’ standings, over 200 points behind, as McLaren surges ahead with recent upgrades.
