Helmut Marko has revealed that Red Bull’s post-Chinese Grand Prix “emergency meeting” was centred around showing168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen how they can improve this year’s F1 car.

It’s been an underwhelming start to the 2025 F1 season for Red Bull, even though Verstap♎pen sits s𝔍econd in the drivers’ standings.

Verstappen finished second behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

In China, Verstappen finished🔯 fourth after a late-race charge to get past the Ferra💙ris.

However, on balance, Red Bull probably had the f💃ourth-fastest car in Shanghai.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson’s abysmal performances have highlighted how difficult tꦏhis year’s RB21 is to drive.

The Ki🌺wi has failed 🐓to score points in the opening two races - and has been demoted to Racing Bulls for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix.

, Marko shed light on Red Bull’s high-profile meeting in Milton Keynes earlier this week.

“After returning from China, a meeting took place in Milton Keynes, at which we inve⛄stigate🌠d the questions of how and when Red Bull Racing will have a winning car again,” Marko wrote.

“That was♊ a good conversation between Ma♋x and the engineers.

“We were able to show Verstappen what the gener🙈al direction of development of the racing car lo💛oks like and what improvements are all being brought to the car.”

Marko's honest assessment  

Marko was frank in his assessmen🎶t of this year’s Red Bull,꧂ conceding that it is “difficult to drive”.

The Austrian w🍌as encouraged by Verstappen’s pace at the end of the race in Shanghai.

However, it was hard to get an accurate read, given that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri managed the pace at the front.

“Let’s talk about the competꦿitiveness of the Red Bull Racing race car,” Ma𒉰rko added.

“After two race weekends, w✃e can say about the characteristics and competitiveness of the RB21: We’re behind McLaren; the car is difficult to drive, and the setup isn’t exactly straightforward.

“But we saw in the second half of the race in China: If things go well, like Verstappen did at the end of the race, now on hard tyres, he can drive as fast as or even 😼faster than the leader.

“In fairness though,꧋ I have to add that leader🔯 Piastri certainly wasn’t pushing the pace.”
