Verstappen Second, Tsunoda Ninth:Solid Weekend for Red Bull and Racing Bulls in Zandvoort

The Dutch Grand Prix delivered a steady and confident performance for both Red Bull-affiliated teams. Max Verstappen secured second place at his home race, while Yuki Tsunoda brought home valuable points in ninth despite technical challenges.

Max Verstappen (2nd): "It was a tough race from the very beginning. The start was tense, and I had a moment in Turn 2 where the car snapped, but I managed to keep it under control. After that, it was about maintaining my rhythm and avoiding mistakes.

We didn’t quite have the pace to fight McLaren today they were very strong. We did benefit slightly from the retirement of one of their drivers, but overall, a podium at my home Grand Prix is a very solid result, and I’m pleased with it."

Yuki Tsunoda (9th): "A chaotic race with plenty of difficulties. The Safety Car came out at the worst possible time, and later I had a significant loss of power near the end. It was tough, but I focused on staying calm, adapting to the situation, and managed to bring the car home in the points.

I’m happy with ninth it gives me confidence. We’ve been receiving updates, the car is improving, and the progress is clear. Congratulations to Ayumu Iwasa and the entire Racing Bulls team on the podium a fantastic achievement for everyone involved."
