Marko hints at 'trick up Red Bull's sleeve' for Verstappen

Max Verstappen claimed his third victory in the last four Grands Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, as the Dutchman continues to put the two McLaren drivers under pressure in the standings.

The latest change to the RB21 came at the Singapore Grand Prix. Speaking to OE24, Red Bull’s top advisor, Marko, hinted that Red Bull Racing has something more planned to support Verstappen.

The Austrian said: "We still have something up our sleeve. I don't know exactly when it will arrive."

When asked about the possibility of rain in Mexico City, he added: "That means absolute Verstappen time!"

Thanks to his victory at the United States Grand Prix and his eight-point haul in the Sprint after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri crashed out, the defending world champion now trails Piastri by 40 points in the standings

The F1 season continues next weekend with the Mexico City Grand Prix. Looking ahead, Verstappen remained tight-lipped.

He said: "The beauty of it is we'll find out next week. I don't really think about it. We'll find out next week. We could speculate, but I don't like that."
