Marko rules out Red Bull team orders in Perez championship quest
Red Bull Motorsport Advisor Helmut Marko stated that there will not be any team orders to help Sergio Perez secure second place in the F1 Drivers’ standings, despite Max Verstappen already securing the championship title. Perez faced difficulties during the Qatar Grand Prix, including a crash in the Sprint race and penalties for track limit violations. Red Bull has never finished with a one-two in the Drivers’ standings, but Marko emphasized that they will not employ team orders, referencing a past incident involving Verstappen. In that incident, Verstappen refused to move aside for Perez to secure more points, leading to tensions within the team.
