Both Red Bull Racing drivers finished the Dutch Grand Prix in the points, with Max Verstappen claiming P2 while Yuki Tsunoda ended the race in P9.
In an adventurous attempt to keep pace with the McLarens starting 1-2, Verstappen began the race on soft tyres. Tsunoda also started on the softs, attempting to climb into the points early on.
The decision worked well as Verstappen managed to overtake Lando Norris, moving into P2 after the first couple of turns and hitting a patch of dust off the racing line, leading to him narrowly dipping a tyre into the grass, forcing a difficult recovery from the offset.
Tsunoda also climbed a place, to P11, on the opening lap, passing Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.
The Dutchman, in his home race, found the gap between him and Oscar Piastri grow rapidly, to 3.8 seconds by lap eight, while Norris closed the gap and was in DRS range by that point. A lap later and Norris managed to reclaim P2, sending Verstappen back to P3.
Tsunoda, meanwhile, found himself caught in a lengthy DRS train, making it difficult for him to get past Williams' Alex Albon in P10. The Japanese driver was the first of the two Red Bulls to pit, putting on hard tyres.
As the safety car was called out on Lap 24 for Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton's crash, Verstappen took a free pit stop to retain his position in P3.
Tsunoda continued to fight in a DRS train, waiting for the Haas' of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman to make their mandatory pit stop, while fending off the charge of Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso from behind - with both Alpines of Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto close behind.
Both Red Bulls dived into the pits when the second safety car was called out, this time for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc's collision with Antonelli, with both putting on soft tyres with less than 20 laps remaining.
Tsunoda dropped down to P13 but was able to keep pace towards the top of the train, desperately hunting for points.
With six laps remaining, Verstappen leapt into P2 after Norris retired with an engine failure.
After the restart, Tsunoda managed to overtake Gasly to move into P10 and jumped up to P9 after crossing the line courtesy of Antonelli's 15-second time penalty, seeing the young Italian plummet down the order.
The result snaps Verstappen's podium-less finishes, dating back to the Canadian Grand Prix, while also snapping Tsunoda's own pointless streak, which dated back to the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Speaking after the race, Verstappen commented: "It wasn't easy. Gave everything at the start to move forward. After that, we just had to do our own race, and unfortunately, we didn't have the pace of the McLarens."
He added: "We got a bit lucky with one retiring. But in general, to be on the podium here is a great result so to be second is a really good achievement for us."
It was also a positive day for former Red Bull juniors, as sister team Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar, in his debut season, joined Verstappen on the podium after finishing P3 - the first podium of his career.
