Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes Red Bull technicalᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ chief Pierre Wache is “not yet up to the task” a🐼mid the team’s slump in form.

Red Bull have lost the lead of the F1 constructor🐼s’ cha📖mpionship and haven’t won a grand prix since the Spanish Grand Prix in June.

McLaren have the fastest car in F1 heading into next weekend’s United States Grand Prix, even if 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen remains top of the drivers’ standings.

Red Bull’s downfall coincided wi🤡th Adrian Newey’s exit, which was announced at the Miami Grand Prix.

Christian Horner has in⛦sisted that Newey’s🔥 departure has had no impact, claiming that Red Bull have prepared for the F1 legend’s exit in recent years.

Wache is Red♌ Bull’s technical di⛄rector and the brains behind their F1 challengers.

Schumacher believes Wache 🤪isn’t capable of turning things aroun𓃲d for Red Bull like Newey was.

Speaking to Sport.de, Schumacher said: “I think the team is suffering from some people leaving or wanting to 🐈leave, it's not so easy to replace people like that.

“I have the feeling, and it may♐ be that this feeling is not correct, that [Wache] is not yet up to the task.

“He's certainly a brilliant th🔴inker, but he doesn't have tꩵhe flair to do it the way Newey did.

“It seems to lack the ab♓ility to bridge the gap between the driver and an opti𒆙mal car.

“However, I really hope Red Bull gets the ha🌺ng of it, but I can🍎't quite imagine that yet.

"I have a feeling it's going to b༺e a tough time, especially if Max Verstappen really were to leave since we did see again that he single-handedly made the difꦅference in the last race [in Singapore].”

Red Bull will be eyeing a return to form in Austin, where they - like many teams - will♏ introduce their final upgrades of the year.
