Red Bull has work to do: "Guess Newey's not gonna get a vacation."

Max Verstappen crashed before the race even started. The first meters of the RB16 on the Sunday in Hungary with intermediate tires ended in the wall. The front wing broke off but still the Dutchman could drive his race, and what a race. Rob Kamphues and former F1-driver Robert Doornbos look back.
"What a moment", says Doornbos to Kamphues in the TV program Crashen in de Keuken. The F1 commentators of the Ziggo studio watch the images of the crash of Verstappen prior to the race at the Hungaroring. "But what a legendary comeback", Doornbos completes his sentence.
Kamphues emphasizes last weekend's bad form of Red Bull: "This is really the image of the race. The fact that this can happen indicates everything that's wrong with Red Bull at the moment".
Red Bull must improve for Silverstone
At the end of the line Max Verstappen took home eighteen points for himself and his team. However, the weekend showed that there is still a long way to go before they can really challenge Mercedes. Especially Lewis Hamilton is in a class of its own.
Kamphues: "The weekend just remains a flop weekend. Saturday just didn't go well. What are they going to do now to get closer to the Mercedes in the next GP? Doornbos thinks: "They took a wrong turn somewhere. What they've tried apparently doesn't work, so they have to go back even further."
"They have to go back to the drawing board so I don't think Adrian Newey will get a vacation."
