Speaking in a team preview, Verstappen said:
The Dutchman had a fuel leak that caused him to retire from the Australian GP after running in second for the majority of the race. Looking ahead positively, Max Verstappen asserted the importance of building up the performance curve from the practice session of the Imola GP itself.
Explaining the efforts going in behind the scenes, the reigning champion said:
Red Bull reveal that their 2022 car does not suit Max Verstappen
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko explained that Max Verstappen was struggling with his car compared to Sergio Perez, whose driving style suited the new car better. The Austrian explained that this is the case with all drivers where many have to adjust their driving style to the cars with lesser downforce.
Speaking to F1 Insider after the Australian weekend, Marko said:
The Red Bull champion currently trails championship leader Charles Leclerc by 46 points in the drivers’ standings, where he is placed sixth. The Dutch champion’s performance at the Imola GP weekend, however, will be vital in turning around his fortunes from the first three races.
