Oracle Red Bull Racing had a mixed Belgian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen drove from an 11th starting spot to P5 and teammate Sergio Perez finished eighth. After the race, George Russell was disqualified, causing both to move up to fourth and seventh in the final standings. Christian Horner, team principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing, commented after the race.

"It was a tough race today. We finished 7 seconds behind the leader and over all we struggled. There were some positives though, Max has extended his lead over Lando and Checo brought home fastest lap. But it was a really tight race today. We didn’t have a big offset of pace today over the others. We have a lot to reflect on as we go into the summer break. We continue to lead in both the Constructors and Drivers Championships but convergence within the field means the gap is ever closing. We will regroup on Monday, as we always do before a break and look at how we can come back fighting for the second half of the season."
