Red Bull enjoyed a strong start to pre-season testing and is looking to start the sport’s new era on the front foot.
Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer praised Red Bull’s improved performance post-winter break and into the new season.
In 2025, a mid-season dip led to major changes, including Christian Horner’s replacement by Laurent Mekies.
Despite the challenges, Red Bull nearly clinched a major title upset with Max Verstappen coming within two points.
Their resurgence coincided with preparations for the 2026 season and the debut of their own power unit.
Impressive engine performance during pre-season testing has garnered praise, with Palmer commending Red Bull’s competitive edge and resourcefulness.
With key personnel changes and the team’s shift towards competitiveness, Palmer acknowledged the remarkable turnaround at Red Bull Racing.
