Helmut Marko has described how Red Bull threw Max Verstappen 'into the deep end' - by choosing Suzuka for his free practice debut. F1
Red Bull deliberately chose to throw Max Verstappen in the ‘deep end’Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has said the team decided to set a new trend by purposely throwing Max Verstappen “into the deep end”.
Marko knew Red Bull were asking a huge amount of Verstappen but also that the young Dutchman could rise to the challenge.Red Bull return from the summer break as hot favourites in both World Championship battles.And indeed, his performance in that session, which he ended four tenths down on team-mate Daniil Kvyat, was vindication in Marko’s eyes for that decision to put Verstappen straight into the firing line.“Suzuka was designed by a Dutchman, so a circuit for guys.
“But you can’t demand everything right away,” Marko stated. “But everything went fine, Max was extraordinary in the first season.”– a heavy impact into the back of Romain Grosjean’s Lotus. “That was the first time I saw Max in tears. I was also disappointed. When you have such a good car, you shouldn’t park it in the ditch. Fortunately, he learned from it and finally managed to do it last year.”
“But this developed in parallel – the more independent Max became, the more Jos withdrew. In the beginning this was not always an easy process. Max had two technical briefings, first with the team and then with Jos…it was clear that could not continue.
