The first day at the brand new Miami circuit did not go as expected for Red Bull Racing. Max Verstappen was not in action much after problems in both practice sessions. Helmut Marko, however, is not worried.
The opening day for the Miami Grand Prix was rough for Verstappen. After problems with overheating in FP1 and only fourteen laps on the board, the Dutchman again barely came into action during the second session. He could not record a time due to problems with the steering wheel.
According to Helmut Marko the serious delay during VT2 was a result of hydraulic problems. He tells this to Formule1.co.uk. For Verstappen, Friday was a day to forget, but according to Marko that does not apply to Perez. The Mexican himself spoke of a messy session, but he managed to set a third time in the final phase.
Marko is not worried
Verstappen was able to collect almost no data for his car, but Marko stresses that they can use Perez's data for the other RB18. The problem with the hydraulics in the Dutchman can just be solved according to the Red Bull advisor. Marko is therefore not worried about it. According to the Austrian, the team showed that they are competitive in Miami.
