Whilst things seemed turbulent for
Red Bull Racing,
Max Verstappen was still able to win the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at
Imola.
Jan Lammers saw where the problem was for the Austrian constructor, namely in the type of track, yet things could also get tricky in Monaco, Lammers explained.
Verstappen had to work hard for his victory in Italy. Until the end, the reigning world champion was in a battle with
McLaren driver
Lando Norris. Verstappen himself went to the limit, he revealed after the race at
Imola. Lammers knows why it became so difficult for the three-time world champion.
Why it became difficult for Red Bull according to Lammers
"Imola is also a bit of a stop-start circuit. It is hard on the brakes, left and right, short corners, you can't go very long. Think for example of the Tarzan corner or other long through corners where you can really put a lot of load on it, so the Red Bull still lacks that a bit," Lammers explained in the
NOS Formula 1 podcast. The former
Formula 1 driver thinks Monaco could be very tricky for Red Bull.
"I also think they are going to have a pretty tough time in Monaco. Ferrari might
also come out really well there, but then I think it will be a battle between the McLarens and the Red Bulls," Lammers concluded.
