Dr Helmut Marko explained Red Bull's disappointing performance with Max Verstappen in the recent races, revealing the "wrong" correlation between the wind tunnel and the simulator. Verstappen recently returned to the top after winning the Sprint at COTA.
The last event that Verstappen won was the Sprint in Austria. Since then, the team's performance went down and they failed to win any of the races. Their performance has improved over the last three race weekends, culminating in a second-place finish in Singapore and a Sprint race victory in Austin.
Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko explained that Verstappen's exceptional driving skills had masked the team's underlying issues. Despite the driver's dominance, the team discovered a discrepancy between their wind tunnel and simulator. This revelation echoed Marko's previous concerns about the wind tunnel's accuracy.
