Red Bull Ford F1-Motor ab Saisonbeginn konkurrenzfähig

Die neue Antriebseinheit von Red Bull hat trotz Herausforderungen beim Chassis in den ersten Rennen der Formel-1-Saison 2026 überzeugt. Mark Rushbrook, Direktor von Ford Performance, bezeichnete das Aggregat als Neuling in der Branche als absolut konkurrenzfähig.

Die Red Bull Ford DM01-Antriebseinheit zeigte seit dem Saisonauftakt in Melbourne eine starke Leistung. Teammitglieder und Fahrer merkten an, dass sie in den ersten Rennen keine größeren Probleme hatte, auch nicht beim Großen Preis von Japan, wo Max Verstappen feststellte, dass weder der Verbrennungsmotor noch die elektrische Energieentfaltung zu den größten Problemen des Teams zählten.
