Helmut Marko: Max has a chance for the title

      Helmut Marko, a consultant at Red Bull, believes that Max Verstappen has a chance of winning the championship this year, but he must win at least five or six races, and then everything depends on the rivals.…

      Helmut Marko: "Verstappen needs to win five or six times to claim the title, but it will be very difficult, because McLaren has proven that their car is effective on any track, with any tires, in any weather.

      Everything has to work out for us to have a chance. But I hope that Lando Norris will start winning again, taking points away from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri. We have to take advantage of this.

      We are fighting with both McLaren drivers, it doesn't matter to us who is faster at the moment in a particular Grand Prix. In Imola, Lando Norris was faster. They alternate, and it helps us.

      Everything is completely clear to us, Max is the obvious number one, everything is focused on him, and McLaren has two drivers who are generally equally fast. The more they alternate, the more points they share, the better it is for us."
