Will Red Bull secure an F1 victory in 2026?

Cody Rhodes in

Red Bull has endured a challenging start to the new F1 season, having consistently competed off the front-running order.

The six-time constructors’ champions are fourth in the standings on 57 points, without a single race victory, trailing a dominant Mercedes outfit by a staggering 162 points.

Max Verstappen’s sole podium came last time out in Montreal with a run to third place, while team-mate Isack Hadjar has had a more difficult time.

Three DNFs for the team compounded a difficult start, and qualifying pace has been inconsistent, with Verstappen starting as high as second in Miami but as low as 20th in Melbourne following a crash.

Mercedes, with Kimi Antonelli winning four of the five races, appear to be in a league of their own.

The question now is whether Red Bull can turn their fortunes around as the European leg approaches. But do you think it can happen?

Can Red Bull return to the top step of the podium this year? Have your say below!
