The Dutch driver expressed frustration over the cars poor grip and balance, while his teammate Isack Hadjar managed to salvage some points with an eighth-place finish. The teams struggles with starts, due to low battery power, have also impacted their results. As the season progresses, questions remain about Red Bulls true potential, and upcoming races will reveal if this is a temporary setback or a sign of things to come.
