Dutch Grand Prix: Practice & Sprint Shootout notes - Red Bull

NEWS STORY
21/08/2026

Max Verstappen: "Today it was just a bit tricky to find the grip and the balance in the car.

"We had already made a step forward from FP1 but, of course, are still lacking a little bit to find the performance to get us a bit further up the field. It's something that we need to understand and something that we will assess overnight. For now, we need to look into what we can do with the balance of the car for tomorrow and work to find a bit more traction to close the gap a bit. For the rest of the weekend, it is difficult to tell how we will perform, but let's see."

Liam Lawson: "There's been a lot to learn from today. We started SQ1 quite strong, but then we didn't quite make the same step that everyone did in SQ2. It's a shame as I felt we had the potential to get through to SQ3. We'll look into it and keep learning tomorrow. Hopefully we can put it together ahead of Sprint and Quali."
