Helmut Marko on Ferrari’s Unreachable Performance and ‘biggest threat’
At the Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari secured a stunning victory, leaving Red Bull Racing in their wake. The Scuderia’s performance was nothing short of remarkable, and it caught the attention of everyone in the paddock. Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s advisor, had some interesting insights to share.
Marko acknowledged that Ferrari’s resurgence was more than just a flash in the pan. He stated, “Ferrari is our biggest threat in this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.” This admission is significant, considering Red Bull’s usual dominance. But what exactly led to Ferrari’s success?
Marko also called for changes to the Monaco circuit. He believes that the existing layout doesn’t suit current-generation F1 race cars. Perhaps this explains why Leclerc and team thrived in the tight confines of Monte Carlo. The team’s performance was flawless, leaving Red Bull to play catch-up.
