Red Bull Racing has officially apologized to Max Verstappen for failing to resolve a persistent steering issue on his car before the Miami Grand Prix race start.
The technical glitch hampered Verstappen’s performance throughout the weekend, affecting his ability to navigate the circuit’s tight corners with his usual precision.
Team Principal Christian Horner admitted that the engineers identified the problem late and were unable to implement a complete fix within the restricted “Parc Fermé” timelines.
Verstappen had voiced his frustration over the radio during sessions, noting that the car’s feedback felt inconsistent, which contributed to his rare struggles with balance.
Despite the mechanical handicap, the world champion managed to secure a podium finish, demonstrating his ability to adapt to a compromised vehicle.
Red Bull has vowed to conduct a thorough investigation at their factory to ensure such hardware integration errors do not repeat at upcoming European rounds.
