Marko: Mercedes criticisms of Red Bull F1 team not from a “serious competitor”
The Red Bull team’s dominance in the current F1 season has prompted criticism and debate regarding Max Verstappen’s performance and his place in F1 history. Lewis Hamilton suggested that Verstappen’s victories were achieved without facing as strong of a teammate challenge as he had in his career. Toto Wolff, Mercedes boss, downplayed the significance of Verstappen’s record-breaking 10th successive win. Red Bull’s motorsport advisor, Helmut Marko, responded by saying that they focus on their own team’s performance and are not concerned about Mercedes unless they become a serious competitor. Verstappen commented that Mercedes is finding it difficult to accept defeat after years of success and that they should appreciate what other teams are achieving.
