Helmut Marko has detailed the cause of Red Bull’s lacklustre start to the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko explained the reason for Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda’s poor pace during the first two practice sessions at the Monaco Grand Prix. According to Marko, the team went in the wrong direction with setting up the RB21 for the streets of Monte Carlo. Verstappen placed second and tenth in the sessions, while Tsunoda managed P14 and P11. The RB20 struggled at Monaco last year due to bumps and kerbs, but Marko believes the team can overcome the setbacks with RB21’s strong long-run pace. Despite the difficulties, Marko expects Ferrari to be the team to beat in Monaco, citing their performance from the previous year.
