Red Bull “expect a lot” from Imola upgrade in warning to F1 rivals
Helmut Marko has confirmed Red Bull are bringing an upgraded vers💎ไion of their F1 car to Imola.
Red Bull are set to boosted by an upgrade package at this weekend’s F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed the RB20, which has won four of the six races so far this year in the hands of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, will be updated at the next race at Imola.
It comes after Red Bull suffered just their second defeat of the season, with McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris brilliantly hol🍎ding off Verstappen to secure his maiden grand prix victorꦯy in Miami.
But Marko has iss𓆉ued a warning to Red Bull’s rivals, stating he has high expectatioꦍns for the team’s latest upgrade.
"I'm not wo♛rried because [Lando] Norris is more than 50 points behind [Max Verstappen]," Marko told Austrian broadcaster oe24.
"Besides, we are bringing an upgrade to Imo💦la, which I expect a lot from. But Miami shows that we need to concentrate on the sporting side of things.”
Red B෴ull team principal✤ Christian Horner revealed that Verstappen suffered “quite a lot of damage” to his car after hitting a bollard during the Miami race.
Marko downplayed the 💛impact of the damage, conceding Red Bull were just “too slow” on the day. The 81-year-old Austrian also suggested Norris would have struggled to win without a timely Safe💃ty Car intervention which swung the race in his favour.
"We were just too slow," he contended. "Max believes it wꦚasn'tꦺ that serious. The fact is that we were slower than McLaren.
"Norris would have had a hard time closing th𓆉e gap behind Max, and overtaking in Miami is also very difficult.
“But now it is to be feared that L🌄ando [Norris] will become even more dangerous for him on the track. Because🐼 the pressure is off now."
