Red Bull remains F1 engine benchmark after ADUO period two

The FIA’s latest ADUO evaluation confirms Red Bull-Ford as the most powerful F1 power unit, with Mercedes 2-4% down and Audi, Ferrari and Honda more than 4% behind; no new homologations were granted in this cycle, and while Mercedes had token allowances earlier, the standings remain unchanged. The ADUO system, which only considers the internal-combustion engine, has faced criticism, and Red Bull’s advantage on the straight was noted as debate builds ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.

Verstappen signs long-term Red Bull deal through 2030, quashing transfer chatter

Max Verstappen has extended his Red Bull contract to the end of 2030, ending McLaren transfer chatter and underscoring how locked-in the driver market is for 2027. Red Bull seeks stability with a tailored environment, including an internal succession plan and freedom for Verstappen to pursue outside racing activities; while performance isn’t at its peak, both sides expect long-term gains and the deal could help bridge to future engine-regulation changes, benefiting F1 as a whole.

Antonelli Edges Verstappen in Spa Friday Practice as Gasly Incident Disrupts FP2

Spa Friday practice for the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix saw Red Bull posting strong medium-speed pace and Antonelli leading the way in FP2, narrowly ahead of Verstappen as Ferrari and McLaren showed potential. Gasly’s Turn 13 crash cut FP2 short, complicating long-run comparisons. With Mercedes close behind, teams will assess whether the hard tyre can mirror medium-tyre pace to enable a one-stop race, while FP3 will refine the picture.
