According to advisor Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s chances of clinching the Constructors’ Championship are diminishing. The Austrian team, which once dominated the standings, has now been overtaken by both McLaren and Ferrari. After securing the championship title for two consecutive years, Marko has decided to concede defeat following a lackluster season compared to their rivals from Maranello and Woking.
Ferrari showcased remarkable performance with a double podium finish in Mexico City last weekend, allowing them to leave with the most points. Just two weeks prior, the Scuderia had already secured a one-two finish in the United States Grand Prix. This steady upward trajectory is closing the gap to McLaren, as Ferrari has now managed to reduce the points deficit to just twenty-nine, while also leaving Red Bull trailing in third place.
‘Verstappen Faces Potential Grid Penalty’
“We’ve lost the Constructors’ title,” stated Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko this week during an interview with OE24. “Ferrari in its current form is just too strong for us. I even believe they might surpass McLaren.” However, the Drivers’ Championship tells a different story for Red Bull, particularly for Max Verstappen. The three-time champion has successfully defended his leading position in the standings over recent months, even though he has not secured a victory since the Spanish Grand Prix. Meanwhile, his teammate Sergio Pérez remains in eighth place in the championship standings.
Marko Expresses Concerns Over Driver’s Title
Despite Verstappen’s success, Marko’s concerns regarding the Drivers’ Championship linger. “I’m not overly optimistic,” he admitted. “Verstappen is in need of a new engine, which increases the possibility of us facing a grid penalty in Brazil. On the flip side, a new power unit could provide us with additional horsepower, which might enhance our speed in São Paulo.”
Ferrari and McLaren Surging Ahead
The recent resurgence of both Ferrari and McLaren has raised eyebrows in the racing community. After years of competition, the tides have shifted, and these teams are now showcasing impressive performances. Ferrari, driven by their relentless pursuit of improvement, has proven their capability to not .comy keep up with the leading pack but to surpass it significantly.
- Ferrari’s remarkable comeback – Their recent results highlight a striking contrast to their earlier struggles.
