Helmut Marko has commented on Red Bull Racing 's performance in Bahrain for the first time. The advisor to the Austrian team is delighted with the performance of the RB16B during the winter tests. So far there have been no major problems with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
At Sky, Marko speaks of the best winter test in Red Bull's history:"We're very happy with how the car behaves", the 77-year-old from Graz told the German media.
Verstappen had a very productive first day and Perez was also spared any major technical issues. There were a few minor issues on Saturday though, according to Marko: "There were a few mechanical problems that limited his programme." However, it doesn't have a huge impact on Red Bull's test schedule.
