Dr Helmut Marko insists Red Bull will bring two significant updates to the RB15 over the next few races. The first update is expected to be rolled out in China, while a second will arrive in Spain.
Red Bull hasn't seen the results they were anticipating prior to the Australian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen has stepped on the podium, but Pierre Gasly hasn't finished above 8th. Marko spoke to Formula 1 about the problems on their car.
“There will be no new car. We have an aerodynamic problem. That is in the chassis," Marko said.
“The solution is not a matter of doing it in a week. The first package of updates is coming in China next week. Only in Spain will the necessary aerodynamic adjustments be made."
Honda, Red Bull's new engine suppliers, would be easy for the team to blame. But Marko refuses to do so. He claims that the Japanese manufacturer is doing a good job, and wants his team to focus on their own jobs.

“Honda is doing a good job. Nothing breaks. We can't say anything about that. We ourselves are wrong in terms of balance. It has to be better, we lack pure speed," Marko added.
“We must gradually come closer to Mercedes and Ferrari, find solutions to our problem. That is really necessary."
