Max Verstappen has failed to wrestle a good result out of the RB22, but Helmut Marko believes he knows why.
Former Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has emphasized that Max Verstappen’s performance hinges on having confidence in the RB22 car. Red Bull’s foray into in-house production under the new power unit regulations has been challenging, with setbacks affecting the team’s early season races. Despite a promising start with Isack Hadjar’s third place qualifying in Australia, issues like Verstappen’s crash and Hadjar’s engine failure have hampered their progress. Verstappen’s retirement in China and subsequent struggles in Japan underscore the team’s ongoing challenges with performance and upgrades. Marko remains optimistic, believing Red Bull will regain competitiveness once the European season kicks off, with Verstappen’s success linked to his trust in the car’s capabilities.
