2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Where is Max, he should have gap to Hadjar. Probably problem with setup and car. But he is nowhere today, if normal service was resumed Max could fight for pole today. This car is very tricky. Fix it Red Bull! Give your best man a chance…

[Valeo]

Did both two warm up laps?

He radio that front tires don't have temperature.

Yes, both did 2. Max's engine is not doing great, down on top speed everywhere, Max complaining too.

[FittingMechanics]

They forgot to detune Hadjar in Q2 (joking). But crazy how much slower he was in first Q3 run.

[Valeo]

Seems it's all about (front) tyre temp.
Strange session.

[AR3-GP]

I don't know who the leader is, but I feel like RB are 2 tenths off.

[AR3-GP]

Yeah Max has some kind of PU issue.

[Valeo]

Losing so much ugh

[Valeo]

Yeah, that's tyre temp.
Maybe they should have done 3 warm up laps?

[AR3-GP]

Only 3 tenths off. Strange session, but not awful considering the issues.

[euv2]

Not bad all things considered, upgraded Merc is 3 tenths off even with an engine deficit.

I feel like the car is there or thereabouts. There's potential. They just aren't really all sorted out like some of the others. The weight, the PU there is a lot of ground that they can make up with the weight and potentially the ADUO.

Having so much trouble warming the tyres doesn't bode well for the wet race.
Although it seemed to affect most drivers, but for sure Max complained about this a lot. And he rarely has issues with tyre warm-up.

Yeah, even the PU control software, there's a lot of gremlins that need fixing. ADUO would be a godsend, it would put them right in race winning conversations.
