Red Bull is set to see out the F1 2025 season with much the same car it had at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
New team boss, Laurent Mekies, has confessed that the RB21 raced by Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda will receive only “minimal” upgrades for the balance of the season.

Red Bull has slipped to fourth in the Constructors’ Championship, more than 40 points adrift of third-placed Mercedes.
Of its 194 points, 187 have been scored by Verstappen, who has carried the team much as he did through F1 2024.
While the Dutchman was able to wrestle his car in the early race last season to establish an unassailable advantage in the drivers’ championship, that has not been the case this time around.
