Helmut Marko has dismissed claims that Adrian Newey’s impending exit is the reason for the ꦜRB20’s downfall in competitiveness.

Red Bull’s chief ༺technical officer shocked the F1 paddock earlier this year by confirming he would leave the team that he has been a part of since 2005.

Newey has not had an active race-to-race rolꦍe since Miami, and is on꧅ course to sign for an F1 rival - reportedly Aston Martin - next year.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, meanwhile, is on an unprecedented six-race winless run as Christian Horner admits Red Bull do not kn🍌ow the cause of their car’s lack of pace.

“Of course, the opinion is ൲circulating among fans tꦯhat our regression has something to do with Adrian Newey's departure,” Marko wrote for .

“But that's not true. Because Newey was no longer involved in all the details of vehicle de🎐velopment in the spring.

“What cannꦿot of course be denied is tha🧔t Newey is Newey, a man with incredible experience, which has always distinguished him.

“But our problem lies elsewhere. The examples of Mercedes and, to a lesser extent, Ferrari have shown how teams find it difficult to deal with༒ these winged cars.

“But I remain🐻 optimistic: We have a very broad technical team and I am convinced that we can solve this problem.

“So th💜e central question now is: How do we go about finding the good vehicle balance from the first part of the season?

“Max Verstappen said in Monza that he didn't need 20 points 💧more downforce if it made the car undriveable.

“So we have to dismantle it a🌺nd hopefully find the point where the car was in balance.

“If we can do that, the car's behaviour will become predictable agai🍷n, the ♋drivers will gain new confidence and can contribute ideally again.

“Of course, this is a difficult task because we have added a lot of new parts♍ to ♚the car since then.

“Simply put – we ne൲ed to figure out༺ where we technically took a wrong turn.”

The remarks from Red Bull’s are incred🍷ible considering they dominated the early part of this year, just as they have since the start of 2022.

In fact, Marko’s words sound almost like Toto Wolff’s confusion▨ as Mercedesꦑ struggled through their bad patch.

Perhaps worryingly for Red Bull’s longer-term hopes, they are set to part 🏅ways with genius car designer Newey.

But, the team are insistent that the timing is coincidental, and Newey’s newfound di🅠stance from their F1 project is 🍬not to blame for their under-performance.

“I think we would have had all of these issues because the issues were already there, and 🉐one man’s input could never be so dramatic so quickly,” Horner said at Monza.
