Red Bull Racing struggles with Max Verstappen's RB22 performance issues

Red Bull Racing is struggling to resolve a persistent technical issue affecting Max Verstappen’s RB22 performance. The driver has reported a loss of performance over the course of a race weekend, specifically noting instability in the rear axle. Verstappen has described the car’s condition as being ‘made of paper’ due to these inconsistencies.

Team Principal Laurent Mekies has confirmed the existence of the problem but declined to disclose specific technical details. While the team is working on incremental improvements, Mekies indicated that a definitive solution is not expected within the current season, as the issue may require significant design and chassis interventions that could extend into 2027.
