via Formula1.comHas Hadjar ended the Red Bull second seat curse?Isack Hadjar has made a notable impact in his second season with Red Bull, showing a competitive edge against teammate Max Verstappen. His average qualifying delta of just over 0.1 seconds is the closest any driver has come to Verstappen since Daniel Ricciardo in 2017, indicating a significant improvement compared to previous teammates who struggled against the four-time champion. Currently, Hadjar's points deficit to Verstappen stands at 41 after 11 races in the 2026 season. This is a stark contrast to the larger gaps seen in previous years, such as 388 points in 2025 and 290 points in 2023. As the season progresses, Hadjar has the potential to further narrow this gap, possibly challenging Ricciardo's record of the lowest points deficit in a season together.

via Crash"My opinion is..." - F1 boss gives verdict on Max Verstappen quit threatsMax Verstappen's future in Formula 1 is a topic of significant discussion, particularly regarding his criticisms of current regulations. F1 President Stefano Domenicali has expressed confidence that Verstappen will remain in the sport, citing ongoing discussions about future regulations and improvements made based on driver feedback.

via RacingNews365Max Verstappen heavily backed as 10-year F1 streak hangs in balanceMax Verstappen is facing a challenging season in 2026, having not yet secured a victory after 11 races. This marks a significant moment as he aims to extend his streak of winning at least one race each season since 2016, a record that currently stands at ten consecutive years and 71 victories overall. Despite a difficult start, including a sixth-place finish in Australia and a retirement in China, there is optimism among fans regarding his potential to win before the season concludes, with a recent poll showing 83.3% confidence in his ability to do so. The RB22 car has been noted as the weakest Red Bull vehicle Verstappen has driven since 2015, contributing to his struggles this season. However, recent upgrades have improved the car's performance, allowing him to finish second in both Austria and Hungary. With 11 races still left in the season, there is hope that Red Bull's development will enable Verstappen to close the gap to the leading teams and reclaim his winning form.
