“Red Bull’s F1 rivals have been put on notice by team advisor Helmut Marko as Max Verstappen makes his way back into title contention following his win in Austin, with McLaren’s Piastri and Norris now struggling to stay ahead of him since the Dutch Grand Prix. Verstappen has reduced the once 104-point gap to just 40 points in the last four races, gaining momentum.
Despite many teams shifting focus to their 2026 cars, Red Bull has a secret weapon in the works at their factory, as Marko revealed. Verstappen’s dominance on all tracks is highlighted by Marko, who believes the Mexican Grand Prix this weekend could once again see him victorious, especially if rain comes into play.
Marko teased that Red Bull has more surprises ahead, keeping Piastri and Norris on their toes. The team’s confidence in Verstappen’s abilities has reached a new high as the championship battle intensifies.”
