Verstappen could only finish fifth at the Hungaroring on Sunday in what was a very frustrating afternoon for the Red Bull driver.Verstappen didn’t do himself any favours as he misjudged his overtake on Hamilton into Turn 1, resulting in a collision.Speaking after the race, Marko conceded Red Bull misjudged how difficult it would be to overtake.
“All simulations resulted in a different delta for overtaking manoeuvres. But we completely misjudged it and Mercedes took advantage of that. “That wasn’t the case and we couldn’t pass Hamilton. That’s our mistake and the position in which Max came back on track after the first pit stop was also our fault. We admit that we made a mistake.
