Four-time world champion Max Verstappen said he’s keen to get to grips with the new car Red Bull unveiled on Thursday for a 2026 Formula One season of massive change.
The team unveiled the livery for their new cars before a few hundred guests at Detroit’s Michigan Central Station less than two months before the season opens in Melbourne on March 7.
New rules for 2026 see aerodynamic changes to make cars lighter and smaller along with modifications to engine specifications to make for a greater contribution from electric power in the hybrid units.
“There is a lot of unknown, there are big changes in the engine, in the car,” Verstappen said. “Initially I’ll take time to adjust during test days. The motivation is very high.”
“It always takes a bit of time to get used to things,” he added. “You need to understand where the most performance is to be found, get comfortable in the car.
