Red Bull Racing has hinted for the second time that a big announcement is coming. After the first announcement seemed mainly focused on the newly established Instagram Threads account, there is now more in the air.

Red Bull Racing threw out a remarkable message on Monday that an announcement was coming. That announcement eventually turned out to be Red Bull Racing's new Instagram Thread account in which various announcements can be made.

Still, the news lingered a bit over the market, as it is known that Red Bull Racing is about to extend Sergio Perez's contract. Whether that is also the 18:00 Dutch time announcement hinted at is unclear at this point.
