Red Bull’s woes were exposed from very early on in the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.
Red Bull team principal, Laurent Mekies, detailed the challenges faced during the Hungarian Grand Prix, mentioning that the team’s concerns were evident from the early stages of practice. The weekend culminated in disappointment for Red Bull as Max Verstappen struggled, qualifying eighth and finishing ninth in the race. Verstappen’s car was deemed “undriveable,” leading to a lack of performance throughout the event. Mekies attributed most of the team’s issues to difficulties in generating tire temperature, a problem that persisted from the beginning of the weekend. Despite numerous attempts to adjust the car setup, Red Bull was unable to find the optimal tire window, resulting in a subpar performance in both qualifying and the race. The narrow performance window of the car proved to be particularly challenging during this race weekend, with Red Bull ultimately unable to resolve the underlying issues.
