2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[Valeo]

Undercut with the medium was the only chance, of course the Mercedes might have still repassed him but...

[TNTHead]

It's still doable. Russell's hard will be gone by the last few laps.

Max will have to ask much to his tyres as well

Although it is a shorter stint and lower car weight

[Sergej]

rythm of gaining is not enough, plus I think Russell is saving some tyre for a final duel

[Juzh]

threw away the fight for win. Should have stopped 2 laps earlier at least.

[Sergej]

he will have to defend from Kimi

[Sergej]

very good car, very poor strategy

[Juzh]

seriously wtf was that silly stint extending. useless.

[Sergej]

let's not forget that also Kimi was screwed with strategy today, I think he was the fastest today

[Emag]

The car should be good enough for Max to fight now. If last year is any indication, this is all he needs. Unfortunately the points gap might still be a little too big at this point, but I feel like we haven't seen the last of RedBull this year yet.

[Valeo]

Yeah, Mercedes still the best car but good progress nonetheless.
Silverstone will be a big test, if they are truly somehow back

[gearboxtrouble]

Red Bull and Max have to be happy with that. Yeah the strategy cost them but this was the first race of the season where Max had the car to win on merit. A clear Q3 would have probably seen him start 2nd or 3rd and he was genuinely quicker than Russell most of the race. Kimi would have probably been faster but this is a car that could have won this weekend. Deg in the race was hugely encouraging - you don't have better deg than anyone else without a balanced car and it is clear the car has much better balance than it used to.

[Watto]

Positives the car seemed a genuine match for the Mercs in race trim.


But that pit strategy cost them and almost cost them a spot to Kimi too.

Hannah Schmitz now officially — the most overrated F1 strategist of all time.

what a poor statement - human make errors, even the best.
