Published October 3, 2026 · Updated October 3, 2026 · Motorsport.com

Max Verstappen and Red Bull have demonstrated a remarkable turnaround in pace since the team's car was described as 'made of paper' just a month ago.

Less than a month after qualifying sixth at Monza and describing the Red Bull car as 'made of paper', Max Verstappen has shown significant improvement in Malaysia. The remark specifically concerned car degradation issues where components deteriorate during races.

According to Verstappen and team principal Laurent Mekies, while the degradation issue can't be fully resolved by 2026, recent developments suggest Red Bull has made substantial progress in addressing their performance concerns. betsport.cv
