In a wide-ranging interview with , Red Bull F1 consultant Helmut Marko revealed that a differential issue cost both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez three-tenths a lap iওn the early stages of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

“In qualifying, as you saw, a part flew off because it wꦬent ♈too wide in one corner. That made a small difference, maybe eight percent downforce loss. So it wasn’t a huge thing,” Marko said.

“What was more serious at the beginning of the race was that there were problems in the differential area. In sector one we were drastically losing up to three-tenths per lap.꧑ The same was true for Sergio [Perez], by the way. Not only was there less grip, but the rear wheels were spinning and the tyres were getting hot.”

Marko also rཧeiterated his opinion that Sebastian Vettel 𝓡should have taken a year off rather than switched to Aston Martin.

Reflecting on his one-year spell with McLaren, Sergio Perez said ‘there was a lot of politi꧃cs invo💦lved’ as the Mexican was ultimately dropped at the end of 2013 in favour of Kevin Magnussen. ()

Former Ferrari team boss and currentℱ F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says Mick Schumacher nee❀ds time to “grow and learn”.

In an interview with , he said: ꦚ“The pressure and expectations will be great now, but we have to give Mick time to grow and learn. He is already a g🦂reat asset to Formula 1. 

His name attractsꦦ a lot of attention, and the whole se▨ries benefits from that. But at the same time, you have to give him the chance to develop in peace and go through a very normal learning curve.”
