2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Damn that's a pretty shocking session. Maybe they got the setup all wrong after only one FP session. Seems too big of a gap considering what we saw in Australia.

Guess the chassis weakness is showing up

More corners = more time lost, seems about right.

Max on the onboard after sprint qualifying:

"...I can't. This is undriveable. We never had anything this bad."

Jesus...

[Sergej]

so quite incredibly they did a good job on the PU and a bad job on the chassis

[f1isgood]

Shocking job on the chassis. Wache has to answer.

[Juzh]

Car is slow, but 1.7s is just too much. It seems like they've completely missed the mark. I agree wache will be feeling the heat pretty soon.

I don't think this gap is realistic in normal conditions, but car is certainly around 1 second worse than the top. I think weight reduction will have a big effect, it can improve tire management, and everything will add up.

I would have thought the front suspension concept was good in having more response in slower corners, but I think that is a miss.

Maybe they will think of a b-spec with suspension geometry

I mean even last year, China was the worst track for Red Bull.

[organic]

Erm, not ideal

[Rikhart]

I think Max really missed a trick in not moving to Mercedes...

[Rikhart]

How was Russell ? "Red Bull has 1s over the straights"

"But why do we have so much criticism of George, he has no fault, poor lad"

[Sergej]

I think Max really missed a trick in not moving to Mercedes...

I'll repeat myself, we have to hope Max does not retire amid this amazing new era.

[Valeo]

Would be not surprised if they start from the back tomorrow during the sprint and change setup.
Its worthless to run like that.
