Red Bull's supposed supernatural entity set for a possible return in Zandvoort race.
The Hungarian Grand Prix marked a tough challenge for Red Bull Racing before the summer break, with the team struggling to find their stride during the weekend. According to Laurent Mekies, Red Bull's Sporting Director, Budapest was a particularly weak performance for the team.
In the subsequent race at the Circuit Zandvoort, Red Bull found themselves once again battling for position, but not fast enough to compete with the McLarens. Mekies questioned if Budapest was a one-off or more concerning, and now understands that it's likely tied to what they did on track there.
Despite the setbacks, Red Bull managed to find themselves back in the race group behind the McLarens at the Circuit Zandvoort. However, the track characteristics at the Circuit Zandvoort are similar to those at the Hungaroring, raising concerns that Red Bull might face their most difficult race again at the upcoming Grand Prix.
Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso reacted strongly to Lewis Hamilton's comments about Ferrari being 'useless'. The details of Alonso's reaction are not provided in the article.
In other racing news, the stewards have identified the culprit behind the near collision between George Russell and Alonso at the race. The incident did not result in any fault on the part of either driver.
Looking ahead, the next Formula 1 track where the Austrian Red Bull drivers could face their toughest race, similar to Budapest at the Hungarian Grand Prix, is likely the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria. This challenging home race circuit for Red Bull is also part of the 2026 DTM calendar.
The stewards have not revealed the identity of the person responsible for the near collision between Russell and Alonso at the race. The team will be hoping to turn their fortunes around at the upcoming races and regain their competitive edge.
