Verstappen Just Got More Power From A Calibration The FIA Can't Measure - Hamilton STUNNED!

Join this channel to access its benefits:    / @f1_andrew   Max Verstappen and Red Bull dominated at Singapore in F1 2026 without a single new part, leaving Lewis Hamilton stunned. Red Bull's DM01 is the most powerful internal-combustion engine on the grid, according to the FIA's August 2026 ADUO assessment. Because it's the benchmark, Red Bull is barred from any new hardware upgrades all season — while Mercedes and Ferrari received additional homologations to close the gap. Yet Verstappen and Red Bull have continued to gain performance without a single new part, proving that software calibration and energy deployment can deliver real power advances the ADUO regulations don't measure. Ben Hodgkinson, Red Bull Powertrains' technical director, revealed that the team started with "quite immature calibrations" in Australia, but the engine has improved every race through optimization work and strategic recalibration of the power unit's delivery systems. Wolff acknowledged the ICE "seems to be very competitive," recognizing Red Bull's progress despite the hardware freeze constraint. The Singapore Sprint saw Verstappen beat Hamilton by 2.6 seconds, while the Grand Prix victory was even more decisive at 7.3 seconds over the Mercedes driver. This marks Verstappen's first Singapore victory after three previous podium finishes at Marina Bay, climbing Red Bull back into a serious constructors' title fight with Mercedes and Ferrari as the championship battle intensifies in the second half of the season. 00:00 Verstappen Beats Hamilton in Singapore Sprint 02:15 Understanding Single Cylinder Engine Design 04:39 Red Bull Builds Its First Power Unit 06:54 FIA Benchmark Rule Freezes Red Bull Upgrades 09:19 Verstappen Pushes Russell at Baku 11:49 Russell Faces Engine Problems and Penalties 14:03 Hodgkinson Explains Combustion System Breakthrough 16:29 Verstappen's First Singapore Grand Prix Victory Subscribe for daily F1 news and updates!
