Red Bull technical director Pierre Waché, speaking to AutoHebdo about what is actually holding the team back: "The biggest problem in our development remains production and research capacity. The car for 2027 will go into development very soon. That will inevitably lead to compromises in terms of production." Waché also pointed to costs outside the team's control. "The increase in the costs of the materials we use has been very significant over the past few months and difficult to predict. The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have driven up the prices of certain materials that are also used in the production of weapons." He put the inflation on those products at over two hundred percent. This is the quiet engineering answer under all the Verstappen contract noise. Red Bull's problem is not motivation, it is capacity.
