What needs to “change” for Red Bull is ending Verstappen’s errors

OPINION: Going up against the dominant force of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton was always going to demand the best from Red Bull and Max Verstappen. But after making a couple more errors during the Portuguese Grand Prix, the Dutch driver showed there's a small gap he still needs to close in the 2021 Formula 1 title fight.

“Now we've lost victory, fastest lap, and pole position,” Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko told Sky Sports Germany after last weekend’s Portuguese Grand Prix.

“All good things come in threes. I hope that's the end of it. Something has to change. Either you make a boundary with kerbs or you make gravel or something. If you go out, there's an automatic penalty.”
