Helmut Marko is confident Red Bull can still win both F1 titles this year, although is aware of how difficult the season has been so far.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko emphasized the importance of not giving up on winning both F1 titles this season, warning that it would be “fatal” to do so. The Milton Keynes-based team has faced challenges this season, with Max Verstappen showing strong performance on one side of the garage. Verstappen has secured pole position in 50% of the races and won the Japanese Grand Prix. However, the second Red Bull seat has been problematic, with both Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda struggling to keep up. The RB21 package has also posed challenges, operating within a very narrow window of performance. Marko described the season as “difficult,” highlighting the team’s inconsistent performance due to the car’s narrow operating window.
