Verstappen: From Paper Car to Pole

Max Verstappen described the Red Bull as a 'paper car' at Monza, referring to degradation issues that affected performance during races. Team principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged that while some improvements have been made, the problem cannot be fully resolved by 2026.

The team's recent performance in Malaysia, however, suggests progress has been made, with Verstappen securing pole position after the team addressed the component deterioration concerns that plagued them earlier in the season. xsportfeed.life
