Red Bull have explained the problem that Max Verstappen had to manage in the closing stages of his run to a historic F1 victory at the Italian Grand Prix.
Verstappen revealed after Sunday’s race that he had to “nurse a little issue” in the closing laps. The Dutchman was told by race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase to drop back from Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri in what was described as being “quite an urgent request”.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko confirmed the concern was related to rising temperatures in Verstappen’s RB19. "It was about the temperatures, to avoid them from going up further," Marko said."We had to keep some of the temperatures within a certain window. "Max was 12 seconds ahead as well, so there was no reason to push or to take any risks. On the other hand, it was also good because his fastest lap idea couldn't come up.”
