Max Verstappen expressed his belief that Red Bull won’t win another Formula 1 race this season after qualifying eighth for the Hungarian Grand Prix. He struggled to improve his RB21’s performance at the Hungaroring and ended up over three tenths behind Charles Leclerc’s pole lap. Verstappen found himself just one tenth ahead of his former team-mate Liam Lawson and is set to start behind Gabriel Bortoleto’s Sauber. The Dutch driver had previously criticized the RB21 as “undriveable” following poor practice laps on Friday and acknowledged the team’s struggle to find solutions. Verstappen, feeling resigned from the title fight, admitted it doesn’t hurt as much now and mentioned the difficulties faced during the weekend. He emphasized a fundamental issue with the Red Bull car and doubted its potential to win any of the remaining races. Verstappen maintained his composure, recognizing the situation as beyond his control and choosing not to dwell on its frustrations.
