Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has revealed that a high-level team meeting was convened on Thursday to address Max Verstappen’s feedback on the RB21 car. According to Marko, the summit aimed to “calmly discuss” the reigning world champion’s “wishes and criticisms” as the team works to fine-tune the car for the remainder of the season.
Verstappen, known for his outspoken nature, has been vocal about certain aspects of the RB21 that he believes could be improved. While the Dutch driver continues to dominate the Formula 1 grid, he has expressed dissatisfaction with the car’s handling in specific conditions, particularly in low-speed corners. His feedback is seen as crucial by Red Bull, which relies on his precise driving style to push the car to its limits.
The meeting brought together key figures, including team principal Christian Horner, technical director Pierre Wache, and Verstappen himself. The discussion reportedly focused on potential adjustments to optimize the car’s balance and responsiveness, areas Verstappen has highlighted as needing refinement.
Marko emphasized that the session was not about resolving any major conflicts but rather about maintaining open communication with their star driver. “Max always wants to extract every last bit of performance, and we’re here to listen and respond,” he stated.
As Red Bull continues its dominant run in the 2024 season, the team hopes that addressing Verstappen’s input will keep him comfortable and confident as he pursues another world championship title.
