Red Bull Racing’s Formula 1 struggles hit a new low as their attempt to replicate the success of sister team Racing Bulls backfires dramatically. The team’s boss, Laurent Mekies, has come forward to address the ongoing issues plaguing the team’s 2025 car, shedding light on why simply mimicking Racing Bulls is not the solution.

Following a disappointing Hungarian Grand Prix where Max Verstappen finished a dismal ninth, questions arose regarding the stark differences between the two teams’ performance. Former Red Bull driver Alex Albon emphasized the contrasting characteristics of the cars, noting Racing Bulls’ stability compared to Red Bull’s car being “on a knife edge.”

Mekies dismissed any possibility of transferring technology or insights from Racing Bulls to Red Bull’s model, citing the fundamental differences in the genesis of each car. He highlighted the individual development paths taken by each team, emphasizing the unique challenges faced in creating a competitive F1 car.

Verstappen’s invaluable experience was underscored as crucial to Red Bull’s improvement, with Mekies acknowledging the driver’s ability to navigate the car’s nuances effectively. Despite efforts to enhance the car’s performance at the Hungaroring, all attempts proved futile, leaving the team grappling with a lack of grip and pace.

The team’s struggles persisted throughout the weekend, with Mekies detailing the challenges faced in optimizing the car’s setup and tire performance. Despite experimenting with various adjustments on both Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda’s cars, Red Bull failed to find the sweet spot needed to extract maximum performance.

As the team continues to grapple with the narrow performance window of their car, the pressure mounts to rectify their ongoing issues and reestablish themselves as frontrunners in the competitive F1 landscape. Will Red Bull be able to overcome their setbacks and reclaim their dominance on the track? Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping F1 saga.
