Red Bull had until now an impressive series of 77 consecutive Grand Prix with at least one driver scoring points, which began between the Saudi Arabian GP 2022 and the Canadian GP 2025. An incredible longevity that abruptly ended in Spielberg… The latest proof, if any were needed, of the decline of the Austrian team this year.<\/p>\n
Max Verstappen indeed had to throw in the towel after his collision with the young Kimi Antonelli, while Yuki Tsunoda still can’t tame this rather capricious Red Bull, finishing in 16th position after a collision with Franco Colapinto and a penalty for that contact… which was last, considering the four retirements in the race.<\/p>\n
Since Bahrain 2022, such a “drama” (relatively speaking…) had not occurred for the six-time world champion team. Max Verstappen’s retirement, the first since the 2024 Australian Grand Prix, ends his own series of 31 consecutive Grand Prix in the points, as he had qualified in 7th position, marking his first “zero points” in 462 days.<\/p>\n
