Red Bull outlines major objective for remaining F1 2026 races

Red Bull Racing has set its sights on securing podium finishes for the remainder of the 2026 Formula 1 season following Max Verstappen's victory at Sepang, which marked the team's first win as a works outfit this year. Team principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged that while they are experiencing a positive trend, Mercedes remains the team to beat, especially with their strong power unit and chassis combination.

Mekies expressed confidence in Red Bull's ability to compete for podiums, citing incremental performance improvements in recent races. He noted that the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix could suit their car's characteristics, but also recognised the challenges posed by the competition, particularly from Mercedes. As the season progresses, Red Bull aims to adapt and continue their fight for top positions in the races ahead.
