Max Verstappen clinched Red Bull’s first podium of the 2026 F1 season in Montreal — can the team now take an elusive first victory as power unit manufacturer?
At the Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen secured his first podium of the F1 season, breaking Red Bull’s rough start and Hamilton’s challenge for second place.
Despite early struggles, Red Bull’s collaboration with Ford for power units has been a bright spot in a difficult season.
The RB22’s chassis issues have limited Verstappen’s and Hadjar’s performance in the initial races, but progress in Miami and Montreal shows promise.
Fans are hopeful for Red Bull’s first victory under their own power, with almost 70% believing they will achieve it before the end of the season.
The timing of that potential victory remains uncertain, but RacingNews365’s poll results reflect optimism for Red Bull’s future success in F1.
