No major drama but these little issues are mounting for Red Bull this weekend.
Red Bull broke F1’s regulated curfew ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. The team personnel violated the rule that prohibits them from being at the circuit during a specified period to prevent overworking. Teams are allowed two exceptions per season, and Red Bull used their first one before the Spa-Francorchamps qualifying day. Despite the breach, Max Verstappen struggled with race pace during Friday practice, finishing third behind McLaren drivers. The FIA confirmed the violation, but no further action was taken since it was within the permitted exceptions. Red Bull justified the curfew break as a precautionary measure for necessary checks.
