Red Bull F1 Helmut Marko argues that Red Bull Racing not only has an advantage over Scuderia Ferrari in the development war, but that pressure can lead to Ferrari’s mistakes.
Red Bull Racing had a perfect weekend at the Emilia Romagna GP, one of Scuderia Ferrari’s home races.
Max Verstappen won the sprint and also recorded the fastest lap in the final to win the championship, scoring a total of 34 points, which is the maximum point. His teammate Sergio Perez also came in second, with Red Bull Racing achieving a 1-2 finish for the first time since 2016.
On top of that, the bonus for Red Bull Racing was that Max Verstappen’s main rival Charles Leclerc touched the barrier and scored only 6 points while chasing Sergio Perez. Thing.
Charles Leclerc reduced his lead in the drivers’ ranking to 27 points, and Carlos Sainz retired in an accident on the opening lap, leading Red Bull Racing to 11 points behind Ferrari in the constructors’ ranking. Shrinked to.
“I don’t think so,” Helmut Marko told Sky Sports News when asked if Scuderia Ferrari, who will be updating at the F1 Miami GP, could catch Red Bull Racing in the development war.
“And what we saw was that if we put a lot of pressure on them, they would make a mistake.”
“Everyone could see it … Leclerc spun twice on Friday and Sainz spun again.”
Still, Helmut Marko claims that “it’s a very sporty and friendly competition between Ferrari and us.”
Charles Leclerc’s crash on Sunday was the first sign of trouble this season for Charles Leclerc, who arrived in Imola with two wins and second place.
The second place in Saudi Arabia was the only race in which Max Verstappen completed and won before Imola.
The two DNFs in the first three races hurt Max Verstappen’s defense of the World Champion, but Helmut Marko believes there is plenty of time for Verstappen to recover.
“Without his DNF, he would have easily gone ahead,” Helmut Marko added.
“But there are so many races going forward, and the important thing is to know that we have a very strong package. The championship will be very exciting.”
“I hope I won’t get tangled up to the last race like last year!”
