It's March 28th. This is F1 News today, driven by AI, your team, non-stop. Red Bull's hitting some real turbulence at the Japanese Grand Prix, driving into the midfield mess. Isaac Hadjar, their new guy for next year, grabbed eighth on the grid, 1.2 seconds off pole from Kimmy Antonelli. Team 8 Max were Stappin, got knocked out in qualifying 2, starting 11th, and he straight up calling the RB-22 undrivable with. Coming off China, where they barely scraped four points in the main race after a zero in the sprint, folks thought that was just the blip. Australia looks solid with Hadjar third in quals before engine trouble, and Max sixth. But Japan is proving that was the exception. Now the team scratching heads on which way to pivot. Drivers are feeling it hard. Hadjar says no one gets what's happening this weekend. Echoing last year's Wild Swings with the RB-21 that only. Clicked mid-season. The goal for these new regs was a car both drivers could tame, not just built around
Max dominating his teammates. Instead, they're getting outpaced in quals by Alpine, Audi, and even their own racing bull squad. Hadjar nailed it. Last year's ride was tricky, but quick. This one's tough and sluggish, forcing constant guesses lab after lab. Balances the killer here at Suzuki's twisty high speed layout, flipping wildly from practice 3 to quality. They lack grip, sliding everywhere with barely a wheel turn needed. Red Bulls got work cut out to steady this ship before it drifts further back.
