Red Bull cuts Verstappen media as car criticism eruptsRed Bull sharply reduced Max Verstappen's media appearances after qualifying in Hungary as the Dutchman renewed his fierce criticism of the unpredictable 2026 car. Max Verstappen, Hungarian GP 2026© Red BullVerstappen described the car over the radio as broken aerodynamically before qualifying P6. Verstappen normally speaks to Dutch reporters for more than five minutes after qualifying, but his session was ended by his Red Bull minder after only two minutes. Red Bull attributed the shortened sessions to a scheduled team meeting, although teammate Isack Hadjar continued speaking to reporters at length despite supposedly being required at the same meeting. Away from the immediate car crisis, Verstappen confirmed he helped convince Tom Hart to remain at Red Bull to eventually succeed Gianpiero Lambiase as his race engineer.
