Red Bull concede failure in locating ‘crack’ in cars of Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies admitted to unsuccessful experiments in assisting Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda in understanding their problematic RB21 during Hungarian Grand Prix practice sessions. Verstappen struggled on Friday, describing the car as “undriveable,” trailing even his teammate Tsunoda at times. The expected turnaround did not materialize in final practice, as Verstappen fought understeer issues despite attempted fixes. Verstappen’s qualifying simulation lap error left him 12th, with Tsunoda languishing in 19th due to car struggles. Mekies acknowledged Red Bull’s challenges, emphasizing the difficulty of finding the right setup and grip for the drivers. While learning from the situation, tests are ongoing to identify and address the car’s limitations, as Red Bull aims to improve for the race.
