Racing Bulls faces aerodynamic issues ahead of 2026 Dutch Grand Prix

Summary

CEO Peter Bayer acknowledged an aerodynamic 'deficiency' in the VCARB 03 as the team works with Dan Fallows, who joined earlier this year to improve technical direction. Recent upgrades have shown promise, as the team aims for a strong showing despite challenges including a driver change. Yuki Tsunoda steps in to drive alongside Lindblad, having been called up during his vacation. The complexity of the new rules and power unit may make performance evaluations difficult at Zandvoort.
