Max Verstappen believes the 2026 Red Bull car has plenty of potential, despite the team’s tough start to the F1 season. The RB22’s challenging nature has been a struggle for even the experienced drivers, with Verstappen currently in ninth place in the standings. Red Bull finds itself battling Haas and Alpine in the midfield, falling behind the leading trio of Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren. The team, which was once dominant, is now facing difficulties as they work to understand and improve the car’s performance issues. Verstappen remains optimistic, stating that they are focusing on unlocking the car’s potential and plan to analyze and improve during the break before the Miami Grand Prix.
