MEET THE RB22: A FIRST LOOK AT MAX VERSTAPPEN’S 2026 CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGER
Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar debuted the Ford-powered RB22. Analysis of the 2026 aero loophole and the "coke bottle" design.
Red Bull turned heads right away at the Barcelona shakedown, with Isack Hadjar setting the pace in what’s basically the real version of Max Verstappen’s 2026 car.
The team from Milton Keynes was one of seven that hit the track on day one of F1’s first pre-season test. Each team can pick any three out of the five days to run at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya during this private shakedown.
This year, Formula 1 is running a closed-door test at Montmelo so teams can iron out problems with their new cars before the season kicks off. The 2026 rules bring the biggest shake-up ever—new engines, new aero, new chassis, new tyres. Everything’s changing.
People in the paddock are already buzzing about Red Bull possibly exploiting a loophole in the 2026 engine regs, which could let them crank up combustion rates. But now, rival teams have spotted something else on the car.
Red Bull’s tiny sidepods in Barcelona have everyone scratching their heads.
According to SPEEDWEEK, rival teams are genuinely baffled by the sidepod design Red Bull rolled out on day one. The RB22 Hadjar looked a lot different from the early renders Red Bull showed off at their Detroit launch.
Testing lap times doesn’t tell you much, but those sidepods definitely got people talking. They’re way smaller than what Red Bull first teased, especially at the back of the car. The design is super narrow.
Looks like Red Bull found a clever way to arrange their radiators and heat exchangers, giving them more freedom to shape the bodywork for extra downforce in that “coke bottle” section—the slim bit between the floor and the engine cover.
Gary Anderson says this isn’t a ‘zero sidepod’ like Mercedes tried.
Some people are comparing Red Bull’s sidepods to Mercedes’ zero-pod concept from 2022. Mercedes gave up on that idea in 2023 because it just didn’t work. Gary Anderson, who used to be tech director at Jordan, doesn’t think Red Bull’s gone that extreme for 2026. But Red Bull kept the real look of Verstappen and Hadjar’s car under wraps at their launch.
Anderson told The Race, “If you compare Red Bull’s first renders to the studio photos, the sidepods are clearly smaller, and the upper surface is totally different. Is it a ‘zero sidepod’ solution? It’s smaller than most, sure, but not really zero. The radiator intake is about the same size as others we’ve seen.”
Verstappen got his first taste of the RB22 on Tuesday morning. Red Bull kept testing on day two in Barcelona, and Verstappen even brought out the first red flag after a little off-track excursion. No big deal—he got going again soon after.
OSCAR PIASTRI BREAKS SILENCE ON "STRESSFUL" BATTLE WITH VERSTAPPEN AND NORRIS
Oscar Piastri reflects on leading the 2025 F1 title race for 15 rounds and reveals the "streamlined" McLaren rules for 2026.
Oscar Piastri didn’t leave Abu Dhabi as a Formula 1 world champion, but he’s still looking at 2025 with a sense of optimism.
For most of the season, Piastri led the drivers’ championship. He looked set for glory until a string of mistakes tripped him up—right when Lando Norris hit his stride. It stung, sure, but let’s not forget: this was only Piastri’s third season in F1. He’s already got nine Grand Prix wins, and he’s still learning compared to some of the veterans.
Everyone expects Piastri to snag a title at some point in his career. 2025 just wasn’t his year. Even so, he managed to soak up the experience and actually enjoy the fight.
He talked about it on The Fast and The Curious podcast. They asked if he enjoyed the 2025 season, even with all the pressure from battling Norris and Verstappen for the title.
“Yeah, I did,” he said. “Winning is usually more fun than losing, obviously, but the whole experience was pretty great.”
Piastri spent 15 weekends at the top of the standings during that marathon 24-race season. He didn’t get the championship, but he still found moments to savour.
There was pressure, of course. “Fighting for a championship comes with a lot of stress,” he said. “But I remember walking into the press conference in Abu Dhabi—just seeing the line of photographers and journalists waiting to get in. That was a cool moment. It felt like I was part of F1 history. There were definitely times I could enjoy it, even right as it was happening. That mattered a lot to me.”
As for McLaren, Piastri hasn’t been shy about what he thinks needs to change. Some people think that the way the team managed their two drivers left him a bit uncertain in the garage, which ultimately cost him.
He told F1.com that he’s already talked with Zak Brown and Andrea Stella over the winter break about what to fix.
“As soon as the season ended, we all knew there were things we could do better,” he said. “Yeah, we had a great year, but we didn’t nail everything. It was important for all of us to be clear about what we want to change going forward. We’ve had some good talks about how to make that happen and what it’ll actually look like.”
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA REUNITED WITH 2004 BRAZILIAN GP WINNING WILLIAMS FW26
Juan Pablo Montoya reveals the $200,000 cost to restore his Williams FW26 as F1 car ownership trends among legends like Ocon and Button.
Juan Pablo Montoya spent most of his Formula 1 career racing for Williams. They pulled him straight out of American racing and signed him for the 2001 season.
It worked out pretty well. Montoya won four races in 68 starts, even though Michael Schumacher and Ferrari were dominating back then. He still managed to finish in the top three of the championship in both 2002 and 2003.
Montoya’s name sits high in Williams’ record books. He’s in their top five for podiums (23) and pole positions (11).
He left Williams at the end of 2004 and joined McLaren for two seasons. After that, he headed back to the U.S. to race in NASCAR.
Now, Montoya faces a pretty hefty bill if he wants to relive his Williams days. On his AS Colombia podcast, he said he bought the Williams FW26—the car he drove to victory in the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix, his last race for the team.
But owning the car and actually driving it are two different things. The car ran a BMW engine back in the day, but right now, it’s just an empty shell—no engine at all.
Montoya’s 50 now, but he was still racing as recently as 2023. He’s got plans to get the car running and take it out for a few laps soon.
He’s not sugarcoating it—getting the car back on track will cost him close to $200,000 (£147,000) if he wants to do serious mileage.
“The car is missing an engine,” Montoya said. “We were supposed to put one in this year, but we haven’t even done a single lap.
“To be honest, I’ve got so many other things going on. The idea is to take it for a few laps.
“If you want, you can chip in and give it a try yourself! If you want to do 40 laps in that car, it’ll end up costing about $150,000 to $200,000 in total.
“One day on track will run you $80,000 to $100,000, and all the parts and extras are another $100,000.”
Montoya’s not the only F1 driver who owns a piece of his old racing history.
In 2024, Esteban Ocon got his hands on the Alpine car he took to victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix—still his only F1 win. Ocon, who’s now moved to Haas, actually had a contract clause that let him keep the car.
Fernando Alonso’s championship-winning Renaults from 2005 and 2006 are on display in his museum in Spain.
Jenson Button also owned his 2009 Brawn—the car that won him the title—but he sold it at auction last year for a whopping £2.8 million.
