Red Bull required time to test and evaluate the changes, something which would take time. However, Verstappen reckoned that it was ‘unfortunate’ to see the team take so long to fix the issues.
It's not like after the summer break I thought, now all of a sudden things are going well. We just need time to test and evaluate. It's just unfortunately taking a bit longer than we want.Max Verstappen added
