Marko: We're seven tenths behind McLaren in the race.

      In the first laps, Max Verstappen and the McLaren drivers were driving at the same pace, but then Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris overtook the Red Bull driver and were 37 seconds ahead of him at the finish. Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko spoke on Sky Sports about the size of the backlog.…

      Helmut Marko: "Max showed his magic on the fastest lap in qualifying, but in the race we saw that we were on average seven tenths behind McLaren on a lap when they were driving at full speed.

      Lando Norris had a bad start, but he gradually picked up the pace and eventually we saw his real speed. The McLaren cars are just better at everything now. They are faster on the straights, they have less tire wear, and the gap of seven tenths per lap is very large."
