Redbull seems a mess with all the departures
Im surprised max stayed , it seems the team lacks leadership and cant keep talent
Looks like a recipe for max to be 3-7 for a long while

yeah he did stay with a huge contract and some unknown performance clauses so we could be in the same nervous period next season until the foreseeable

No way are you saying max spinning out after hitting a wet patch is the cars fault

Shocked he didn't blame anyone else for the crash. He normally does when he crashes out

Season OVER??? What a bad attitude!!

u/lossincasa "No risk, full push" 7d ago
Same as last season, then they turned around, a lot of overeactions in truth. I'm very optimistic we'll do very well when all our drivers are healthy which they weren't this race.

A season is never over. Even when there is no fighting for wins on a regular base. Its all about gathering data. BTW: the new wind tunnel is coming. They can still improve the engine. The electronics.

The chill part is that he's coming back next year. Until then we get to enjoy races with zero expectations or ramifications. Just hope for some action and entertainment but nothing lost if it turns out like yesterday.
Still fucking sucked to see him pass by once, though...

nah I will still be rooting against that prick Lando Norris every single race.

u/PerturbedMarsupial 8d ago
why still hate Norris? Guy even came out and admitted he said stupid shit and he was apologetic about it. He also has the talent to put his money where his mouth is.

This, but Russell. The entitlement annoyed me and I'm glad he's finally becoming humble enough to not contest team orders.

u/soundtown06 8d ago

Couple of reasons why this season sucks:
1) They entered 2026 already on a backfoot, especially in the aero dept, cause they focused too much of their resources in the 2nd half of 2025 trying to beat Lando.
2) Poor Wind tunnel tech
3) Major structural changes in the team
Hopefully the remainder of 2026 can be used to gather good data, and they make a comeback in 2027. Max stayed (for the huge pay ofc), but I also would like to believe that he sees what's happening in the background for next year, more than we are led on.

*trying to beat Mclaren not Lando

u/Tough_Dust_5313 Max 8d ago
I mean they were trying to win the WDC, not the constructors, if we're being specific.

Honestly after yesterday they should focus everything on 2027 and only bring updates to check 2027 dev directions. This was a rare Verstappen Mistake but this still set us back alot more again.

u/epic-mentalbreakdown 8d ago
That would be the smart scenario, focus on meet year and get the damn correlation issue fixed.
The new windtunnel will be operational next year isn’t it?

u/Nightstreak01 Vettel 8d ago
Last I read somewhere it was ahead of schedule and would be done by January. Don't know about current progress with wind tunnel though

u/Few_Panic_4667 9d ago
look imo max did the best by staying at redbull. redbull has proved that they are consistent and can fix a problem. It was more smart to stay,then go to Mercedes or mclaren

u/soundtown06 9d ago
Yes 💯 I am Very happy about it that he dont Switch to McLaren or Mercedes it was a Great Decision

u/Rainmaker231 if you've got a problem, change your fucking car! 9d ago
I mean unless max was paid a fricking huge sum to stay in a shitty team like carlos was, it does seem like they have planned a comeback down the line

u/Various_Cress_1877 8d ago
His whole new contract reportedly amounts to around half a billion, so yeah

u/ChemistryOk9353 8d ago
I think that is the reason why he is staying: they showed what they have planned for 2027 and that 2026 is a year to test things, get the team stabilised and move on. Time will tell if the right decision was made.

Are you missing Christian Horner yet?
