Helmut Marko believes Red Bull's Imola upgrades will quell the possibility of a McLaren surge in the championship...
Red Bull ’s Helmut Marko maintains he’s not worried about a potential title challenge from McLaren, despite their win in Miami.
An error at the chicane had seen Verstappen clouting a bollard and do some damage to his floor, although the extent of the time loss hasn’t yet been clarified by Red Bull as Verstappen himself downplayed the impact of the mistake on his RB20’s performance. Speaking to Austrian publication OE24, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said Verstappen and Norris may be very friendly off-track, but the British driver may become one to be feared on it.“He often takes him with him on the plane, and they always arrange to meet up for sim racing. Max seems to have something to learn from Norris when it comes to partying. But now it is to be feared that Lando will become even more dangerous for him on the track. Because the pressure is now off.
With a normal practice schedule following two Sprint weekends, there’s also ample time to hone in the latest changes made to the car – although this will also apply to McLaren as they fettle the Miami upgrades, while Ferrari is also expecting to roll out new upgrades for the SF24.
