An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
According to Red Bull Racing chief advisor, Helmut Marko, the team will hold a pre-race meeting to try and turn the team's "situation" around.
"We have slowed down everywhere, lost time in all sectors. The damage has been done. It doesn't look good."- Helmut Marko.

The team equipped the RB21 with a new floor in Mexico, which they also put on the car in Interlagos. The part in question has "not brought the hoped-for success".
Nevertheless Red Bull simply relied on their ability to "find the right direction. But that was not the case. We have to look at where we have taken a wrong turn."
