The cancellation of the Bahrain and Jeddah Formula 1 races might put Red Bull Racing at a disadvantage compared to some other teams.
Because of the ongoing war in the Middle East, those races were removed from the 2026 F1 calendar, creating a long five‑week break between the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka and the Miami Grand Prix in early May.
Some teams could use this break to improve their cars, but Red Bull’s recent struggles mean the extra gap might slow their chance to fix problems and catch rivals.
Unlike teams that are already performing well or closer to the front, Red Bull might find the long break a slight disadvantage rather than a benefit.
Overall, the unexpected schedule gap could affect how competitive Red Bull is when the championship resumes.
