Helmut Marko has said 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has agreed he won't sim race late at night after criticism emerged during the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen was in action for Team Redline during the 24 Hours of Spa, racing up until 3am in the morning𝐆.

He helped guide his team to another victory, but the same didn’t ha𓄧ppen on-track in F1.

Verstappen delivered an underwhelming performance with two botched ove🌼rtake attempts on Lewisꦚ Hamilton.

The Dutchman 🎐was also incredibly frustrated over team radio, ranting about strategy and the handling of the car.

Nico Rosberg and Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft suggested that Verstappen’s late night - and thus lack of sleep - wouldn’t have hel💫ped his performance.

However, Marko played it down after the race, citing the fact that Verstappen stayed up as late during the Imola weekend but pulled off a masterclass to beat 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

“I have to point out that at Imola, after a simracing session♔, he only went to be🅺d at three o’clock in the morning – and then won the grand prix. Max has a different sleep rhythm, and he got his seven hours of sleep.

“His late-night sim session on the Hungary weekend only happened🧜 because one of his team’s drivers dropped out. Nonetheless, we havꩲe agreed that in future he won’t do simulations so late anymore.”

Hea🅠ding into this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix - a race Verstappen has won on three consecutive occasions, he sits 76 points ahead of Norris.

The Dutchman could be set to stꦉart lower down on the grid though as Red Bull are forced in🐻to a possible engine change.
