It seems to be becoming a habit: Red Bull is dissatisfied after the first day of a race weekend. This was the case again at the Bahrain International Circuit this weekend.
Recently, Norris has indicated that he found his car difficult to drive and that it was not really tailored to him. Marko was asked about these statements, as McLaren seems to be consistently the fastest. "Every fast car is difficult to drive," responded the Austrian to Norris's remark.
After his victory in Japan, Verstappen said that he would disappear on the horizon if he drove a McLaren. Norris called that statement nonsense and invited Verstappen on Thursday in Bahrain to get into the McLaren himself and test it. Marko was also asked about these statements of Verstappen and replied: "That's Max's opinion - and he probably knows."
The only Red Bull driver who participated in both free practice sessions in Bahrain on Friday was Tsunoda. He didn't make a big impression, but Marko had an explanation: "Yuki tried something different, so his time is not representative. He will definitely be faster tomorrow."
There were also some brake problems at Red Bull, but according to Marko, there is nothing to worry about. "That also affects Max more, but I think we can solve that."
