Helmut Marko has dismissed claims that Adrian Newey’s impending exit is the reason🀅 for the RB20😼’s downfall in competitiveness.

Red Bull’s chief technical officer shocked the F1 paddock earlier this year by con🎐firming he would leave the 𒉰team that he has been a part of since 2005.

Newey has not had an a꧂ctive race♓-to-race role since Miami, and is on course to sign for an F1 rival - reportedly Aston Martin - next year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, meanwhꦅile, is on an unprecedented six-race winless run as Chrꦉistian Horner admits Red Bull do not know the cause of their car’s lack of pace.

“Of course, the o🃏p🅰inion is circulating among fans that our regression has something to do with Adrian Newey's departure,” Marko wrote for .

“But that's not true. Because Newey was no longer involved in all the details of vehicle dev☂elopment in the spring.

“What cannot of course be ♔denied is that Newey is Newey, a ma🌠n with incredible experience, which has always distinguished him.

“But our problem lies elsewhere. The examples of Mercedes and, to a lesser extent, Ferrari have shoജwn how teams find it diffi💛cult to deal with these winged cars.

“But I remain optim♚istic: We have a very broad technical team and I am convinced that we can𒐪 solve this problem.

“So the central question now ⛄is: How do we go about finding the good vehicle balance from the first part of the season?

“Max Verstappen said in Monza that he didn't need 20 points more downforce if it madܫe the car undriveable.

“So we have to dismantle it⭕ and🍎 hopefully find the point where the car was in balance.

“If we can do that, the car's behaviour will become predictable 🃏again, the drivers will gain new confi🌞dence and can contribute ideally again.

“Of course, this is a difficult task because we have added a lot of new parts to the car 💝since then.

“Simply put – we need꧃ to figure out where we technically 🦋took a wrong turn.”

The remarks from Red Bull’s are incredible considering they dominated the early part of tജhis year, just as they have since✤ the start of 2022.

In fact, Marko’s words sound almost like Toto Wolff’s confusion as ꦍMercedes struggled through their bad patch.

Perhaps worryingly for Red Bull’s lꩲonger-term ho💝pes, they are set to part ways with genius car designer Newey.

But, the team are insistent that the timing is coincidental, and 🐼Newey’s newfoundౠ distance from their F1 project is not to blame for their under-performance.

“I think we would have had all of these issues because the issues were already there,ಌ and one man’s input could never be so dramatic so quickly,” Hꦏorner said at Monza.
