Red Bulls reveal about Verstappen

Time for a guide before Wednesday and their Formula 1 Austrian GP in 2022, but first something else.

Max Verstappen missed out on victory – another Red Bull’s car lost a part.
It stabilizes the team.
– This is a race we could have won by now, says Helmut Marko.

Max Verstappen was seventh in England and complained about the reserve for a long time. The team found no fault – until the end of the race.

Then they can examine the car and find out what happened already at eleven.

– When I took the lead, after Carlos made a small mistake, I drove over a piece of carbon fiber in turn five, confirms Verstappen.
– I can’t turn left or right. I tried to drive it, but instead it destroyed my entire floor.

fell down

He drove a small part of a sister group, Alfadauri, lying on the tracks. The collision cost Red Bull several points as Albadari’s two drivers, Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly, drove together in the race. That’s the reason AlphaTauri didn’t score any points at Silverstone and Verstappen missed out on a chance to win the UK GP.

– He told us it felt like a tire was damaged because it felt so bad, but there was no damage to the tires, Red Bulls team manager Christian Horner told Motorsport-Total.com.

– Part of AlphaTauri’s car as he drove on lap 11. It got stuck under the car and felt like it was braking the car.

Red Bull reveals what Max Verstappen is all about

Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s motorsport consultant, elaborates on the same phenomenon to ServeTV:
– Max couldn’t control, then it was thought to be a tire problem, so we took him to the depot. In retrospect, it was a mistake because he was so fast and angry that he destroyed his medium tires when he got to the point where he had to slow down because of the speed limit, Marco says, which was great.

According to Motorsport Advisors, part of the rear wing of Yuki Tsunoda’s car came loose and got stuck under Verstappen’s car, giving the world champion the impression that the car had poor balance and that it had jumped forward.
– The small part stuck in such a stupid way that he lost 20 percent of his maximum downforce, which made him lose between one and two seconds per lap, Helmut tells Marco.

The problem worsened when Verstappen drove with harder tires and the car was further damaged.
– When I got out of the car, I looked directly under the car, on the ground and there, to the left, everything was broken. Everything is gone, explains Verstappen.
– In the end, seventh place at Silverstone was very good, considering how big problems we had.

OK, but can we talk about how big it is? It shouldn’t have been on track and I still don’t know why they didn’t put a VSC or something to restore it pic.twitter.com/SXcubGNEuR
