Helmut Marko: Norris's time surprised me
Lando Norris topped the timesheets in the second free practice session in Las Vegas. Norris’s advantage over Max Verstappen was half a second, and such a speed difference raised questions for Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko.
“For starters, we need to analyze who was revving the engine harder and how much fuel was in the tanks,” Helmut Marko said after the second practice. “Oscar Piastri turned out to be much slower than Norris. I think only tomorrow will we see the true pecking order. Norris’s time surprised me. But, as I already said, we need to analyze everything to understand what engine settings were used and how much fuel everyone had in their tanks.”
