Helmut Marko says Red Bull has taken full responsibility for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s disappointing F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, stating “this is entirel🎃y the fault of the team”.

Verstappen could only finish fifth at the Hunga𓄧roring on ⛎Sunday in what was a very frustrating afternoon for the Red Bull driver.

The Dutchman was stuck behind Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton on two occasions as Red Bull were undercut.

Red Bull’s sla🌠ck strategy decisions left Verstappen irate over team radio.

Verstappen did💎n’t do himself♑ any favours as he misjudged his overtake on Hamilton into Turn 1, resulting in a collision.

The Dutchm𓃲an got away with it unscathed but dropped down to fifth.

Speaking after the race,꧃ Marko conceded Red Bull misjudged how difficult ꦏit would be to overtake.

“It is clear that🐎 🍰this is entirely the fault of the team,” Marko is quoted as saying to Austrian broadcaster ORF.

“All simulations resulted in a different del♊ta for overtaking manoeuvres. But we completely misjudged it and Mercedes took advantage of that.

“I haven’t met him [Verstappen] yet, but I will soon. We consciously accepted this [the team radio frustration] because we thought we would be faster on newer tyres later. If you know Verstappen, you know this i𓄧s possible. But it is not necessary on board radio.

“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 o𝓰ur fault. We admit that we made a mistake. It was a gross error of judgement with regard t♔o overtaking.”

Red Bull’s lead in༒ the F1 constructors’ championship has been cut down to just 51 points following McLaren’s 1-2 finish.

Marko admits Red Bull “urgently need” the sum😼mer break to regroup.

“We urgently need it,” said Marko in reference to the summer break. “In the first three races we thought we w🔥ere going to have a similar season to last year, but then suddenly there was the turnar🐻ound.

“Max is not used to that and we are also not used enough to the fact that you have to fight hard w♕ith competitors. That’s something that makes it better for fans and journalis💜ts, of course, but we have to endure that situation and eventually master the situation.

“We’re still in the lead in both championships. There are still a lot of races, so we shouldn’𓆉t pretend that everything is lost. But we absolutely cannot afford the small and easy mistakes.”
