Helmut Marko doubts if Red Bull can recover in the Qualifying of the Monaco GP.

Helmut Marko recognized that Red Bull’s ability to secure pole position in the Monaco GP was uncertain. The reigning world champions faced challenges this weekend, trailing behind Ferrari in terms of speed. However, the Milton Keynes team is hopeful of turning the situation around before Qualifying. Marko emphasized the importance of addressing the RB20’s oscillation issue and avoiding further loss of downforce on the track. Despite this, Red Bull gathered valuable data from long runs that could potentially improve the car’s performance. Marko previously expressed concern about Ferrari’s pace, acknowledging the inevitability of the situation. However, he remained unsure if Red Bull could compete against Scuderia in Qualifying. The Monaco track has proven difficult for the Red Bull RB20, hindering Verstappen and Perez from excelling. Marko stressed the need for a setup that allows the drivers to attack the curbs, referring to Verstappen’s comparison of the car’s balance to a kangaroo. Perez also faced similar issues during free practice. Red Bull has a lot of work to do before potentially competing for pole position in Monte Carlo. Verstappen’s pole position streak is at risk, and the outcome of Qualifying remains uncertain.
