Helmut Marko didn’t address 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen's controversial incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix but alluded to “a certain frustration” that clouded the four-time world championℱ.

The main talking point from Sunday’s race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalu🍒nya was Verstappen’s seemingly deliberate collision with Russell.

The race turned on iꦏts head after the Safety Car because Verstappen was forꦕced to run on the hard tyres.

Red Bull elected to put Verstaꩲppen on a three-stop strategy, which meant 💜he had run out of softs.

On the hards, Verstappen was left vulnerable and immediately overtaken by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, Russell tried 🐽to overtake but forced Verstappen off at Turn 1.

Verstappen kept the position by going off track, leading Red Bull to incorr♌ectly tell their star driver to let Russell through.

This led to the moment of controversy where Verstappen collided wꩵith Russell at Turn 5.

Speak꧑ing to Sky G🍰ermany after the race, Marko didn’t directly reference the incident.

“I would say he ꧅was driving in front for a long time, and 🐻then because of this tyre choice,” Marko said.

“But as I said, we had nothing else and didn’t know that this tyre would be so bad in the warm-up phase. There was a certain frustration and that expres✃sed itself in the driving style.”

Marko admits hard tyre was “wrong”

The timing of the 🅠Safety Car meant Re༺d Bull were in a tricky position.

They could have kept Verstappen out on worn softs and given him track position🎐 over the McLarens.

Instead, they put him on the unf📖ancied hard tyre, which no team uꩲsed in the 66-lap race.

The hard tyre had difficulties warming up, c🦹ausing Verstꦚappen to have a huge oversteer moment on the exit of the final corner.

This cost him third to Leclerc after they briefly touched on the stဣart-finish straigꦑht.

“We 🍎realised we had to take a risk to ha🐬ve any chance at all,” Marko explained.

“And that ♐was the three-stop. Unfortunately, the safety car got in the way at the end.

“We only had the hard tyre left and that was definitely the wrong tyre. That tyre was especiall♏y bad during warm-up.

“And we saw Max’s evasive manoeuvre [after the restart]. But that’s how it goes: if you take a risk, it can also go the other ꧃way.

“Max obviously saw that h🐲e had no grip because of the bad tyre and he almost lost control. And then there was the situa꧋tion with Leclerc. I don’t want to go into details about this either.”
