Jos Verstappen: “Is Red Bull missing Marko? Ralf Schumacher says too many stupid things”

Dialectical battle between two ex-drivers The debut as an engine engineer and the first real regulation change without Adrian Newey were a difficult combination for Red Bull to overcome and as expected the bar proved to be too high for the Milton Keynes team which surprisingly does not have its main weak point in the power unit to the point that from what has emerged it will not benefit from the ADUO. The RB22 is very slow when cornering and is overweight, a package of updates is planned in Miami that could decide the fate of technical director Pierre Waché if it proves ineffective. Currently the Anglo-Austrian team has collected just 16 points in three race weekends, a trend that will allow Max Verstappen to free himself this summer from the contract that binds him to Red Bull given that in all likelihood he will not be in first or second place in the Drivers’ World Championship. According to Ralf Schumacher, Red Bull is suffering from the absence of Helmut Marko as a charismatic figure capable of leading the team in difficult moments, a thesis brutally disavowed by Max’s father, Jos, who on his social media channels said that from his point of view “Ralf Schumacher talks too much bullshit”.
