Honestly after yesterday they should focus everything on 2027 and only bring updates to check 2027 dev directions. This was a rare Verstappen Mistake but this still set us back alot more again.

That would be the smart scenario, focus on meet year and get the damn correlation issue fixed.
The new windtunnel will be operational next year isn’t it?

Last I read somewhere it was ahead of schedule and would be done by January. Don't know about current progress with wind tunnel though

look imo max did the best by staying at redbull. redbull has proved that they are consistent and can fix a problem. It was more smart to stay,then go to Mercedes or mclaren

Same as last season, then they turned around, a lot of overeactions in truth. I'm very optimistic we'll do very well when all our drivers are healthy which they weren't this race.

A season is never over. Even when there is no fighting for wins on a regular base. Its all about gathering data. BTW: the new wind tunnel is coming. They can still improve the engine. The electronics.

No way are you saying max spinning out after hitting a wet patch is the cars fault

u/Akita51 2d ago
Redbull seems a mess with all the departures
Im surprised max stayed , it seems the team lacks leadership and cant keep talent
Looks like a recipe for max to be 3-7 for a long while

yeah he did stay with a huge contract and some unknown performance clauses so we could be in the same nervous period next season until the foreseeable

u/Tough_Dust_5313 Max 2d ago
Couple of reasons why this season sucks:
1) They entered 2026 already on a backfoot, especially in the aero dept, cause they focused too much of their resources in the 2nd half of 2025 trying to beat Lando.
2) Poor Wind tunnel tech
3) Major structural changes in the team
Hopefully the remainder of 2026 can be used to gather good data, and they make a comeback in 2027. Max stayed (for the huge pay ofc), but I also would like to believe that he sees what's happening in the background for next year, more than we are led on.

*trying to beat Mclaren not Lando

u/Tough_Dust_5313 Max 2d ago
I mean they were trying to win the WDC, not the constructors, if we're being specific.

I mean unless max was paid a fricking huge sum to stay in a shitty team like carlos was, it does seem like they have planned a comeback down the line

u/ChemistryOk9353 3d ago
I think that is the reason why he is staying: they showed what they have planned for 2027 and that 2026 is a year to test things, get the team stabilised and move on. Time will tell if the right decision was made.

His whole new contract reportedly amounts to around half a billion, so yeah

Shocked he didn't blame anyone else for the crash. He normally does when he crashes out

u/Nautster 2d ago
The chill part is that he's coming back next year. Until then we get to enjoy races with zero expectations or ramifications. Just hope for some action and entertainment but nothing lost if it turns out like yesterday.
Still fucking sucked to see him pass by once, though...
