Helmut Marko has said 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has agreed he won't sim race late at night after criticism emerged during the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen was in action for Te𒅌am Redline during the 24 Hours of Spa, rac๊ing up until 3am in the morning.

He helped guide his team to another victory, but the♒ same didn’t happen on-track in F1.

Verstappen delivere♉d an underwhelming performance with two botched overtake attempts on Lewis Hamilton.

The Dutchman was also incredibly📖 frustrated over team radio, ranting about strategy and the handling of the car.

Nico Ros𝔉berg and Sky Sports F1 commentator David Crofꦐt suggested that Verstappen’s late night - and thus lack of sleep - wouldn’t have helped his performance.

However, Marko played it down after the race, citing the fact that Verstappen stayed up as late during the Imola weekend but pulled off a masterclass to beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

“I have to point out t꧂hat at Imola, after a simracing session, he only went to bed at three o’clock in the mo✅rning – and then won the grand prix. Max has a different sleep rhythm, and he got his seven hours of sleep.

“His late-night sim session on the Hungary weekend only happened because one of his team’s dri🌟vers dropped out. Nonetheless, we have agreed that in future he won’t do simulations so late anymore.”

Heading into this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix - a race𓄧 Verstappen has won on thre🐼e consecutive occasions, he sits 76 points ahead of Norris.

The Dutchman could be set to start lower down on the grid though as Red Bull 𒀰are forced into a poജssible engine change.
