Red Bull have made a worrying prediction for their fate at this weekend’s F1 Dutch Gr༺and Prix.

The summer brea🌜k ends at Zandvoort with Max Verstappen desperate to end a four-race winless ru♔n.

The rise of Mercedes ♊and McLaren at recent rounds have made life tough for Verstappen and Red Bul♍l - and it could continue this weekend.

“Du🦹ring the summer break, there is nothing going on for two w𒐪eeks, which means that no work on the car is possible,” Red Bull’s Helmut Marko told .

“We have to solve our problems and find ouꦆt where the fault is, becau🅠se we don't have the balance in the car anymore if you compare the current situation with the first three races.

“But it is difficult to estimate how quickly this will happen. I d🌠on't think the big solution will come in Zandvoort.

“We do intensive brainstorming and also have various ideas. But 𒅌I can't say yet what we will implement anꦓd how.

“One thing is clear: qualifying at Zandvoort will be ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdecisive, because overtaking 🍸is hardly possible there.

“And Max could well succeed in ღa good qualifying, because he has be🐼en good there recently.

“We were the fastest in🌊 Austria and also in Spa. In Hungary, only a few hundredths were missing – so we are already complaining at a high level.”

Red Bull have confirmed that Verstapp𓃲en’s teammate Sergio Perez will continue in the team at Zandvoort and beyond, after his poor form led to calls for him to be ditched.

But the im♒𒐪mediate concern for the constructors’ champions is their RB20.

Their rivals McLaren and Mercedes have stolen a march in the development﷽al war off-track, and the results have been p⛦roven on-track.

Last time out in Belgium, Red Bull reverted the RBꦦ20’s engine to its standard specification. They had run an update in the previous race in Hungary.

The extreme aero at Spa forced Red Bull’s rethink but they ma🧜yﷺ be on the back foot again for this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix.

Merced𒁃es have won three of the past four grands prix, twice via Lew🅺is Hamilton and once through George Russell.
