Marko: I hope Max can fight for the lead.

      In an interview with Kleine Zeitung, former Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko spoke about the power dynamics at the Austrian stage…

      Helmut Marko: “It’s clear that Mercedes remains the favorite, but they also have their weaknesses. They have already faced issues with the power unit twice, which is quite unusual for this team.

      In the first year of the regulations, updates are usually very effective. If you’ve done everything right, you can easily gain back five tenths.

      As far as I understand, this weekend Red Bull will field a car that meets the weight limit for the first time, rather than significantly exceeding it as at the beginning of the season. I hope they will be among the contenders, and Max will be able to fight for the lead.

      The Mercedes team is the favorite for this stage, but it will be interesting to see how the other participants will look against them.”
