Inside Red Bull's extensive changes to the RB22

F1 experts Mark Hughes and Giorgio Piola have analyzed the technical updates Red Bull introduced for Max Verstappen’s RB22 at the Japanese Grand Prix. Following a challenging start to the 2026 season, the four-time champion has struggled with results of P6, a DNF, and P8 across the first three races. The team faces significant pressure as they attempt to address the shortcomings of the RB22 under the new technical regulations. After narrowly missing a fifth consecutive title last year, Red Bull's current performance marks a disappointing beginning to their campaign.
