While all the Formula 1 portals are wagging their tails this week as Lewis Hamilton FAN SITE, Helmut Marko has once again come, seen and said one lap!
According to the great Red Bull Racing veteran, it is clear as day that in the current F1 field, Max Verstappen is clearly the best, Lewis Hamilton is far from him:
"Let's look at 2024. Our car was unable to win several times, in these moments Max brought the plus that was needed to succeed. He became world champion because he can find 0.1-0.2 seconds on laps in places where no one else could. Yes, not even Lewis Hamilton! Maybe he is still fast, but can he keep up with Max for the whole season? I doubt it. Even if he gets a great Ferrari, and we only have a mediocre Red Bull for Max, he will still be the winner. So Max Verstappen will fulfill his task, now it's up to us to give him a car with which he can win not only occasionally, but constantly.
"Unfortunately, it didn't work last year. There were times when we were fastest, and then a week later there was nothing to be seen from that pace. We need to move the operating range of the car, we are working on that." - Helmut Marko provided a glimpse into future plans.
