Red Bull Racing is evaluating a return to a more conventional rear wing design following two high-speed incidents involving Max Verstappen at recent Grands Prix. The team's innovative 'Macarena wing' has presented significant safety concerns.

Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has made his first public appearance in the Formula 1 paddock since his dismissal a year ago, attending the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.

Red Bull Racing's team principal, Laurent Mekies, has openly discussed the team's current performance deficit in the 2026 Formula 1 season, following a challenging start that has seen them secure only one podium finish.
