Watch out Sergio Perez! Helmut Marko predicts “different” Max Verstappen in Australia
The two-time world champion was forced to miss media day in Sa𒉰udi Arabia due to an intestinal virus.
Despite not being at full𓃲 fitness, Verstappen dominated the weekend up until Q2, when he suffered a driveshaft failure, leaving him 15th on the grid for the race.
Verstappen recovered to finish second behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, w🌸ith the Dutchman picking up the fastest lap to maintain first-place in the st♌andings ahead of Australia.
“He wasn’t 100% fit,” Marko told F1-Insider. “However, he is now doing everything he can to maximise performance next time🐠.
“We will therefore see a different Verstappen in 𒆙Australia.🔯”
With Red Bull having a comfortable lead over the rest of the pack, both drivers were given “target lap꧟ times’ to adhere to.
However, that was scrapped when Verstappen wanted to push for the fastest lap and 🍸the extra point that comes with it.
“Typical Max,” Marko added when asked about Verstappen’s fastest lap pu♏rsuit.💖
“Perez also attacked his own 💛best time, but he made a mistake.”
Red Bull haven’t won the Australian Grand Prix since 2011 with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel, while Verstappen has yet to win at Albert Park.
