Max Verstappen lived in Baku which may be his worst weekend in years.
The Dutchman was not in Azerbaijan and the proof is that he was far from the pace of his teammate, “Checo” Perez.
Actually, the clash between the Mexican and Carlos Sainz gave him a fifth place while he was seventh, light years behind the Ferrari and McLaren.
After the race, Helmut Markoadvise Red Bullacknowledged his pilot’s difficulties.
“We got stuck behind Albon. It ruined Max’s career.“, he explained in statements to the ‘GP Blog’.
“But in general, I didn’t have Czech’s pace in front of meSo we have to see where the difference comes from, but it’s becoming difficult,” he added, attracting the attention of his driver.
After Baku, Red Bull is second in the Constructors’ World Championship 20 points from McLaren, although from Milton Keynes they hope to reverse the situation.
“Yes, we believe that from Austin we have a package that should make us more or even truly competitive. But we will have to wait for Austin. We have to see what happens in Singapore. But at least we lost three points. “That’s good,” he concluded.
