Is Verstappen right that Red Bull had this potential in its F1 car all along?
Now that Red Bull has passed the high-downforce test in the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, it’s clear that its progress over recent weeks hasn’t been limited to just one type of circuit.

Why promoting Hadjar for F1 2026 would be Red Bull repeating the same mistake
“Isack is different,” Helmut Marko told journalists after Isack Hadjar finished a sensational third at Zandvoort, answering a question about whether he believes the Frenchman can withstand the pressure of potentially being Max Verstappen’s team-mate.
