Red Bull acknowledges that a vexing issue in F1 will remain unresolved until 2027.

“There is some validity to Isack’s remarks; we are all frustrated to face radio issues for the second consecutive race," he shared with the press. "It’s complicating matters for everyone, so we definitely want to address this issue swiftly as it should function without consuming too much of our energy, so he is correct in that regard.”

He noted that the starts present a more significant challenge.

“The start is a somewhat more intricate problem to address, as start performance involves nearly all departments of the company, probably excluding aerodynamics. It’s the engine, gearbox, clutch, and various factors, and we have clearly observed since the start of the season that we are not the benchmark in terms of launch performance.”

He remarked that the team's enhanced pace has made their race starts more evident.

“You may recall how poor our starts were earlier this year. We are still not the standard. And yes, the improvement in the car has allowed us to compete closer to the front, making that deficit even more challenging now because the competition around us is quite formidable.”

However, for a complete resolution, supporters of the team will have to be patient.

“To address your point, on one hand, I’m optimistic that we will continue to narrow the gap to our rivals from now until the end of the year because we learn something from every race, finding small ways to close the distance. On the other hand, I am equally aware that we will not set the benchmark before the season concludes; achieving that will necessitate considerable design and hardware modifications, which we will only see next year.”

Regarding the radio issues, the Frenchman conceded that they do not fully comprehend the source of the problem.

“If we understood it, we would have resolved it, so we don’t completely grasp why we are facing these challenges. I must admit that our competition is performing better than us because we can clearly hear everyone’s radio, and we have been struggling more than we would have preferred.”
