Red Bull claim “we have conclusive findings” to turnaround RB20’s slump
Helmut Marko offers update on RB20's recovery

Helmut Marko has suggested that Red Bull are a༺lready making progress with arresting their 2024 F1 car’s decline.
Max Verstappen hasn’t won a grand prix at six attempts and left Monza last weekend describ൲ing his RB20 as “a monster”.
Red Bull are now looking over their shoulder at 🅺McLaren and Lando Norris in the constructors’ and drivers’ championships.
“Despite our non﷽-performance, Max is still 62 points ahead,” Marไko told .
“But🉐 this lead can quicไkly shrink if we continue like this.”
He admitted the need to help Verstappen or risk l🍌osing the drivers’ title: “If we don't give him a drivable car and deliver a performance like that a few more times, then anything is possible.”
Mar൲ko explai💟ned how Red Bull are reacting to a drab Italian Grand Prix.
“We have a tyre test with Liam Lawson🐎 in Monza and at the same time our people will analyse where we sho🌳uld readjust,” he said.
“We have to find the poꩲint where we took a wrong turn in dev𒁏elopment.
“We already have a few conclusive findings, now we have to implement the appropriate technical cha𝔍nges quic𒀰kly so that the car has the right balance again.”
Verstappen leads Norris by 62 points but 🍌Red Bull’s lead over McLaren is a mere eight poin🐓ts.
At next weekend’s Azer⛎baijan Grand Prix, Norris and McLaren will set out to land an even more telling blow on Red Bull.
Striving to deliver balance to the RB20 is an even more dau♋nting task because of the upcoming grands prix, Marko said.
“The next two ⛄races on the street circuits in Baku and Singapore are of little significance in this regar💙d,” he said.
“Austin will show whether weꦡ can achieve the turnaround.”
Marko made it clear that Red Bull would prioritise Verstappen’s drivers’ title above 🌄the constructors’.
He als💜o defended Sergio Perez🦹’s role in Red Bull’s shrinking lead in the constructors’.
“Checo is not bad, he is simply slower. But of coဣurse, the priority is for Max to win the drivers' world championshiꦕp,” Marko said.
