P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has appeared to rule out the team winning the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix as he suspects this weekend will pose a “real problem”.
Red Bull’s recent upgrades in the United States did not translate to success in Mexico, with Verstappen finishing sixth at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez due to penalties received after a clash with Norris. The lacklustre pace of Red Bull was a major concern post-race as Mercedes remained out of reach during the second stint. With Norris finishing second, Verstappen’s championship lead has decreased to 47 points with four races remaining. Marko emphasized the need to improve performance after the disappointing showing in Mexico, highlighting the upcoming challenges at the slow-cornered circuit in Brazil. Despite the struggles, Marko remains optimistic about Red Bull’s chances in Qatar and Las Vegas, aiming for a victory in upcoming races.
