Red Bull’s senior F1 managemℱent held a ‘crisis meeting’ following a poor Bahrain Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen could only finish sixth in Bahrain, overtaking Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly on the final lap.

On the other side of the Red Bull garage, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda enjoyed a solid race to come away with his first points with the🍎 team in ninth.

It was ultimately a shocking weekend for Red Bull, given that Verstappen struggled to reel in Gasly and Haas’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon at various stages of the race.

Their lack of pace was compounded by🅰 various pit stop issues, which cost Verstappen severa📖l seconds.

During the first pit stop, the light system that indicates when a driver can leave their pit box wasn’t working correctly,💧 which also affected Tsunoda.

Another issue occurred during Verstappen’s second🐓 pit stop as the Red Bull crew struggled to remove his front-rightꦏ tyre.

, team principal Christian Horner, Helmut Marko, technical director Pierre Wache and chief engineer Paul Monaghan were seen gathered in the Red Bull hospitality area for a ‘crisis meeting’.

Red Bull display “very alarming” - Marko

While Verstappen remains in title contention - he trails La♚ndo Norris by just eight points - Red Bull’s performance was “very alarming”, according to Marko.

It t🎀ook Verstappen until the final lap to get back ahead of Gasly in the Alpine.

Red Bull’s strategy decꦑi🐬sions were also questionable as Verstappen struggled on the hard tyre in the middle of the race.

Reflecting on a difficult weekend for Red Bull, Marko said, as quoted by Motorsport𝓰.com: “It’s a very difficult day for Red Bull; that's obvious to all of us.

“We have 📖to get, as soon as possible, performance in the car again and also standards like a pitstop have to work. The car is not the fastest and then the pit stops are not working. That is not acceptable.

“Very alarming. We know that we are not competitive, and there will be parts coming in the coming races, and hop♐efully they bring improvement.

“We have a lot of problems. The main problem is balance and grip. And out of this, so I guess the problems with the brakes 🍰came up. And then the normal procedure like a pitstop is not working, so one [issue] comes after the other.”
