Helmut Marko: It could be an interesting weekend.

      Red Bull's racing consultant Helmut Marko is pleased with how Friday in Monza went for his team…

      Helmut Marko: "We're very pleased. Compared with last year the results are much better. Over the long run the pace was very good, and on short runs we need to improve, but the gap isn't too big. If McLaren weren't bluffing by hiding their pace, the weekend could turn out to be interesting. A deficit of just under two-tenths inspires optimism. I think today all the drivers were running the power unit at full power; no one was hiding anything."
