Helmut Marko has disputed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s claim that Ferrari would have won the Australian Grand Prix even if 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen didn’t DNF.

Verstappen retired on Lap 4 of the race inꦯ Australi🎉a due to a brake problem.

This allowed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz to take the first ꦗnon-Red Bull victory since Singapore, and hand Ferrari their first 1-2 since Bahrain 2022.

After ꦜthe race, Perez, who finished a lacklustre P5, felt that Ferrari were going to win irrespective of🦩 Verstappen’s issue.

“As a team we just didn’t have ൲the pace today,” the Mexican told Sky Sports F1. “We didn’t have the pace through🃏out the weekend.

“We were struggling already from Friday and we never got on top of the managemen🌳t of tyres. I think we just have to understand and make sure we are able to improve.”

He then was asked if he thought Ferrari would have won i🍰f Verstappen remained in the race, he repꦛlied: “Absolutely, yes.”

“With Max in the race, the outcome would ♒have been completely different.”

Marko admitted Red Bull is still unsure on t꧅he exact cause of Verstappen’s terminal brake issue,

“We don’tಞ know exactly yet, but alr🐭eady on the lap when Sainz overtook him, the brake didn’t release,” he added.

“In addition, he got slightly sideꦗways and Sainz overtook him as a result. As a result, the brake got completely stuck and we are very glad that not everything caught fire. We need to evaluate the exact cause.”
