Marko: We fought back even with a bigger gap.

      Helmut Marko, a consultant for Red Bull, hopes that the team will be able to regain the gap from McLaren and start winning regularly starting from Imola.…

      Helmut Marko: "We made a lot of progress in Jeddah compared to Bahrain, but this track with fast turns suits us better. The main thing is that we are moving forward and getting a more predictable car with a wider operating range. We are moving in small steps, and I think that by Imola we will have enough speed to get ahead of McLaren.

      We are not thinking about falling behind in the championship. It won't be easy, but we fought back even with a bigger gap. I still remember how Vettel and I were more than forty points behind, but we still won the championship.

      The McLaren drivers' fight among themselves will help us. It is better for us that one wins first, then the other – with equality between them, they are unlikely to simply obey the orders of the team, but for us this is a great opportunity to recoup."
