After the race, Max's manager, Raymond Vermeulen, went to the Red Bull speaker, where he had a heated discussion with the team consultant, Dr. Helmut Marko. According to witnesses quoted by Sportal.bg, Vermeulen reproached Marko's weak performance in this race.
“Vermeulen has quarreled with Dr. Marko, using the same vocabulary and the same attitude that Helmut usually uses towards others.”explained one of the reporters who attended the incident.
“Raymond reproached him vehemently, and Marko stayed and listened. Then Vermeulen came out of the box, meaning that there is no thanks to the evolution of the season,” the disclosures said.
Max managed to win in Japan, where he was the first in qualifications, and on the Suzuka circuit, the overruns proved impossible, thus allowing them to keep their leader position until the end.
In Bahrain, however, the pace imposed by Piastri and Mercedes has proven too quickly for their followers, and Max did not even have the chance to fight for a place on the podium.
