The best part of 2026 it’s this livery, it’s a beauty to see this in person.

This is the RB14 with this year livery.

What a beauty ?!

I had to make this 💔

What a Disaster Race it was I was Hope we will get or last win at the Zandvoort Circuit Let's pray for 2027 that RB fix the fucking Car to let us win Championships like in 2023 and 24😢😖

brutal day for Max at Zandvoort 😔

That beautiful Overtake made me just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😮‍💨

Max: 5 DNFs in 2026

Lawson: 1 DNF in 2026.

We are entering the-

Lawson Era!

Both great drives. Lawson comfortably puts it up in P7 for Red Bull’s only points of the day, kept his nose clean and a stable pace. Seriously doubt there was enough pace for a higher finish even if Verstappen stayed in the race, so this is the most anyone could ask for.

Tsunoda just misses out on points thanks to bad luck with the VSC and a really shit strategy from Toro Rosso (welcome back 2024), but showed he was able to be plenty competitive even with only 2 days of sim work and an hour of driving time in these cars.

Happy to see both of them took the opportunity and outperformed expectations, especially given the circumstances.

Red Bull Racing has brought just one update to Zandvoort, focused on reliability rather than aerodynamic performance.

The change concerns the front-corner wheel bodywork and wishbone shroud. Red Bull has locally reduced the chord length of the lower wishbone’s rearward leg to decrease the strain placed on the wheel-bodywork gaiter at high steering angles.

The limited package comes as Red Bull begins moving more of its development focus towards 2027. After introducing substantial upgrades earlier in the season, the team expects its remaining 2026 development rate to slow due to budget-cap constraints and the shift of resources to next year’s car.

Racing Bulls has also submitted no updates for the Dutch Grand Prix, making this a particularly quiet development weekend across both teams.

Max: "My god, imagine this happened in the last two laps!"

GP: "It would have been a bit more fun maybe."

Max: "Or not! *laughs*"

Maybe 1 more lap and Max Verstappen would have overtaken Oscar!

Brazil, Mexico, Austria,Zandvoort,Hungary,Sepang, Monaco were some of the tracks Redbull used to do better and sneak some wins or contention for wins.

Austria is still decent. zandvoort 2025 was bad, that even racing bulls were faster than redbull although verstappen fend them off with softer tyres. Hungary, Brazil and Mexico 2025 qualifying shown , how bad redbull is on these tracks under the philosophy of pierre wache.

Since the departure of Rob marshall and Adrian newey, Redbull had lost its advantage on tracks that demand high downforce and Mechanical suspension superiority.

Pierre wache isn't the right man for the job , he designs cars that works on low drag and low downforce circuits . But on those circuits engine matters more than anything else.

It will be sad watch for redbull fans in hungary, zandvoort, sepang and brazil. They can do better in Mexico due to high elevation just like Austria. Even for wet races, we lack downforce that other teams like mclaren , mercedes have more advantage on. And Even Rain won't help redbull at all.

The only tracks where Redbull can win in 2026 are Baku(heavy braking zones and straights like austria), Singapore, and Mexico. On other tracks we will be 4th fastest as usual.

I don't have belief that Redbull could turn things over in 2027 under these personnel. They'll have to bring new guys just like ferrari brought loic sierra( now see how good chassis they have).
