Red Bull are enduring a world of difficulty in the São Paulo Grand Prix, with both of its drivers facing a troublesome race.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko criticized the team for getting slower overall, following Max Verstappen’s disappointing Q1 exit at the São Paulo Grand Prix, jeopardizing his title chances. This marked the first time since 2006 that both Red Bull cars failed to advance past the opening part of qualifying.
