Red Bull is expecting a challenging stage in Spa.

      Red Bull Racing team principal Laurent Mekies expects the team to face difficulties at the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix. According to him, the characteristics of the high-speed track in Spa do not suit the Red Bull power unit, making it difficult to expect a high result.

      Laurent Mekies: "In Austria, we fought for victory, but just a few days later in Silverstone, we faced serious limitations that prevented us from realizing the full potential of our car.

      We believe that on a track like Silverstone, where the lack of electrical energy is particularly acute, our problems were more pronounced.

      It seems that on tracks where energy usage restrictions play a larger role, we are conceding more to our competitors than usual. I'm afraid Spa also falls into that category."
