Although the start of the season for the Red Bull team has been dreamed of, the energy drink team is aware that the rest of the Formula 1 teams are increasingly stalking Max Verstappen now. Sergio “Checo” Pérez so maintaining this overwhelming pace seems much more difficult.
This is what the Red Bull advisor commented: Helmut Markowho in his column in Speedweek magazine spoke about the good sporting moment of the Austrian team that is first among the manufacturers and also has its two drivers in the first two places in the classification.
For the former F1 driver, the next tests on the calendar will be a determining point in the season where Red Bull will have a good opportunity to control and keep the stalking of the rest of the teams at bay, especially Ferrari and McLaren who have tried to question Austrian dominion.
“The circuits where our rivals could be closer are Miami and Monaco, especially if the grid has become even tighter. In qualifying everything is very tight, so I imagine it won’t be easy to stay on pole there.”said the energy drink team advisor.
It must be remembered that the Miami Grand Prix is the next race on the calendar and will take place next weekend in the United States, which this season will have three tests that will be run in Austin and Las Vegas. For its part, the Monaco Grand Prix is the eighth race of the championship and will be held on May 26.
The Austrian also spoke about the work that Max Verstappen has been doing both in the races, winning four of the five that have been held, as well as in the classifications, coming first in each of the races held and reaching 37 in his successful career. .
“Formula 1 is not boring at all. If an athlete’s performance is extraordinary, you should accept it and be able to appreciate it. Above all, I wouldn’t say it’s boring, it’s all Max’s credit. In terms of classification, he has made a leap in quality. It is also about time and as far as poles are concerned, he is still somewhat behind in terms of number of victories.”Marko added.
“I think we have a very good package and Max is driving absolutely flawlessly. He is confident in all phases of the race, including his vision of it, he is doing very well with the tires. I think we can think about the World Cup again. “Max is already one of the greats and he will only be 27 this year, so there is still a lot to come”closed the advisor who points to a new title.
