Watch out Sergio Perez! Helmut Marko predicts “different” Max Verstappen in Australia
The two-time world champion was forced to miss media day in Saudi Arab🌳ia due to an intestinal virus.
Despite not 𝐆being at full fitneꦗss, Verstappen dominated the weekend up until Q2, when he suffered a driveshaft failure, leaving him 15th on the grid for the race.
Verstappen recovered to finish second behind teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, with the Dutchman picking up the fastest lap to maintain first-place in thꦆe standings ahead of Australia.
“He wasn’t 100% fit,” Marko told F1-Insider. “However, he is now doing everything he can to maximise pe🌼rformance next time.
“We will therefore see a different V𓄧erstappe🐲n in Australia.”
With Red Bull having a comfortable lead over the rest of�ಞ� the pack, both drivers were given “target lap times’ to adhere to.
Howevܫer꧒, that was scrapped when Verstappen wanted to push for the fastest lap and the extra point that comes with it.
“Typical Max,” Marko added when asked about Verstappen’s fas🧸test lap pursuit.
“Perez🧸 also attacked his own best time🙈, but he made a mistake.”
Red Bull haven’t won the Australian Grand Prix since 2011 with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel, while Verstappen has yet to win at Albert Park.
