Red Bull's power unit boss Ben Hodgkinson emphasizes belief over expectation after the team's first Formula One win with their energy drink brand. Verstappen's pole position and fastest lap at the Bahrain Grand Prix, held in Malaysia, marked a significant milestone for Red Bull in the 2026 season. Hodgkinson, who joined from Mercedes, highlighted the team's audacious project and the importance of not underestimating the competition.
Despite skepticism from rivals and the press, Red Bull's unique mindset and willingness to take on challenging projects have proven successful. Hodgkinson emphasizes the team's on-track performance as the true measure of their success, rather than merely focusing on engine performance.
