Brake problems for Max Verstappen, Helmut Marko not worried

Brake problems for Max Verstappen, Helmut Marko not è worried

It has been two years and 43 Grands Prix since Max Verstappen was forced to retire the last time before last Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix, and it happened again in Melbourne, in 2022, and once again it was Ferrari that triumphed, but in that case with Charles Leclerc.

Then it was a problem with fuel, this time instead with the right rear brake, which made the three-time world champion say: “The brake è remained on, it was like driving with the handbrake”. On Austrian TV laola1 Helmut Marko said that from the investigations that have been done so far è it was an assembly problem. Simply put, of human error.

So, the Red Bull team advisor is not è worried about the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka in about ten days: “Suzuka è a ‘power&rsquo track; and Verstappen is really driving excellently. I am optimistic”, Marko said, quotes quoted by formulapassion.co.uk.

Last year the only race Red Bull didn’t win was in Singapore, where Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari triumphed, and, another incredible coincidence, even then the next Grand Prix was at the Japanese circuit of Suzuka, where Verstappen massacred everyone and missed the Grand Slam (pole, victory, fastest lap and leading the race from start to finish) only because of pit stops. Will it beà soà again this time?
