Helmut Marko has described Lando Norris’ pace as “crazy” and said Red Bull have an “alarming” deficit they need to overhaul. Norris finished 20 seconds clear of P2 Max Verstappen in another blow to Red Bull’s bid to retain the Constructors’ and Marko believes the team have to use this break period efficiently if they have any hope of catching up.

Max Verstappen 's ongoing struggles at Red Bull are costing him millions, according to one ex-Formula 1 driver. The Dutchman is chasing a fourth successive world drivers' title, and currently sits top of the standings with just six races remaining.

Formula One champions Red Bull hope to pick up the pace over the last six rounds of the season after Max Verstappen emerged stronger than expected from back-to-back street races.
