Red Bull and Verstappen warned about becoming a midfield team

It's been a tough start to the season for Red Bull and Max Verstappen, even with the Dutchman's fine win at the Japanese Grand Prix, with the RB21 continuing to be a handful for everyone involved with it.

With the new regulations that are coming into the pinnacle of motorsport for the 2026 season, new engines for the Austrian team will be used, working in collaboration with Ford to create their own powertrain.

With that, there is a worry from former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya, wondering whether Red Bull will continue with their downward trend to be "running where Williams are running" next season, then having a discussion about the potential move of Verstappen to Mercedes.

The record-breaking year of 2023 may never be seen in F1 history ever again, but that is not what the team boss sees as Red Bull's best moment.

The 2021 championship that saw Verstappen earn his maiden title is "the highlight of the team's history", says Horner, beating out Hamilton with a last-lap overtake at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to give the Austrian team their first drivers' title since 2013.
