Max Verstappen won his fourth world title in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. He became the only driver after Fangio, Prost, Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton to become a four-time world champion. He also gave the Red Bull team their eighth world title in Formula 1.
But despite all of that, Red Bull boss Helmut Marko is not happy at all. He felt very unhappy even after celebrating the championship win with Max Verstappen. The former driver was unhappy because Red Bull is far behind McLaren and Ferrari in the constructors title.
Verstappen is the only driver scoring consistently for the Austrian Team, while another driver Sergio Perez is struggling with pace and balance in his car. He is very far behind his partner interms of points. Sergio finished second in last year's driver's title behind Max Verstappen and ahead of Charles Leclerc. But this year is all a disaster for Sergio perez. He is struggling with some unknown issues which keeps him behind his teammate and other rival teams.
Red Bull boss worried
🚨 Helmut Marko: "We have to have two drivers who finish in the points. Max is more than 200 points ahead of Sergio"

Helmut Marko is worried about that and spoke to the media regarding the issue. He said, “We have to have two drivers who finish in the points. Max is more than 200 points ahead of Sergio. For now, the main thing was to win the championship for Max but for our employees, it is a disappointment because they will not receive their bonuses, as they depend on our position in the constructors championship.”
Sergio Perez tried his very best even with a double overtake in the Las Vegas Grand Prix showing some signs of classic Sergio perez but he could only manage 10th. He is now standing 8th in the drivers championship behind Lewis Hamilton who is 56 points ahead of him. Max Verstappen is leading the grid with 403 points. There are only two races left and looks like Red Bull doesn't have a chance at the constructor's title. McLaren is leading with 608 points ahead of ferrari with 584 points and Red Bull with 555 points.
