Sergio Perez looked very convincing at the start of the season, then Red Bull Racing finalized the car – and Max Verstappen got the advantage, and Sergio found it increasingly difficult to find the optimal settings.
Commenting on these changes, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said it was not about the car at all, but about Max…
Helmut Marko: “Max needs a car with a stable front axle, and what happens at the rear doesn’t bother him so much. And if at 300 km/h the rear axle loses stability, all the racers, including Perez, say that the car has become uncontrollable, then Max is not worried.
At the start of the season, our car suffered from understeer, but we didn’t fight it, but tried to make it as fast as possible, to reach its full potential. In the end, she turned out to be a better fit for Max, allowing him to get more out of her.
When you have a really excellent driver on your team, it’s important to make the most of it. And Sergio returned to his usual level. It’s not easy being Max’s partner.”
