Max Verstappen and Red Bull suffered through a torrid weekend at the Hungaroring, but Helmut Marko claims the team has already got a grasp on the nexus of the issue.
Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko believes the team has identified the issue that affected Max Verstappen during the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he finished in ninth place after starting eighth. Marko described it as Red Bull’s “worst” weekend of the year due to multiple challenges faced by the team in Hungary. Verstappen had to fight his way through the field, facing difficulties due to an undercut pit stop strategy that left him in traffic.
Despite facing scrutiny for an incident with Lewis Hamilton, which was ultimately dismissed, Red Bull considered a one-stop strategy for Verstappen but opted against it. Marko acknowledged the team’s struggles with tire management in Hungary but remains optimistic that they have pinpointed the cause and do not expect a repeat in the future. Overall, it was a challenging weekend for Red Bull in Hungary, but they are confident in their ability to address the issues and bounce back stronger in the upcoming races.
