Marko admits mistake Red Bull: 'We completely underestimated that'

Red Bull Racing made mistakes in its approach to the Hungarian Grand Prix, admits Helmut Marko. It was a frustrating race for the Austrian Formula One team, which saw neither driver finish on the podium.

At the German branch of Sky Sports, Marko admits that Red Bull's update package has not had the desired effect. The 81-year-old Austrian stresses that the updates did produce better lap times, but not as many as expected and certainly not as many as Max Verstappen had expected. Marko says Red Bull is waiting for the Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps to really assess the updates.

The top adviser admits the Austrian F1 team made mistakes. " We completely underestimated how difficult overtaking is here," he explains. "We thought our speed advantage would be enough, but we couldn't overtake. That's why our strategy was wrong."
