Track Conditions Hamper Red Bull's Practice Sessions at Hungaroring

Heading into the weekend, Red Bull had hoped Hungary’s Hungaroring circuit would present a better opportunity to showcase their potential. However, practice sessions this Friday turned out to be far from ideal for Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar.

The challenges came partly due to the track surface in poor condition, according to on-site reporting by Motorsport.com - F1. This made it tough for the team as they faced significant complaints.
