Max Verstappen confidently won the Spanish Grand Prix to earn his third Grand Slam in his career. Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko commented on the results of the seventh race of the season and admitted that the team will win all races in 2023.
Q: During the race in Barcelona it seemed that Max Verstappen was playing with rivals…
Helmut Marko: You saw for yourself that Max managed to drive the best lap at the end of the race on worn tires. As they say now, it’s like it’s from another planet. Max has gained a lead we’ve never had before.
Q: Does Max get on your nerves when he takes risks with a lead of more than 20 seconds?
Helmut Marko: It’s Max – you can’t convince him. He always gives his best, and the warning about going beyond the limits of the track only confirms this. But this is the hallmark of Max – he always brings results.
Q: The race press is delighted with Mercedes’ double podium. Do you feel like they’re already breathing down your back?
Helmut Marko: The updated car allowed us to add to our rivals. I don’t want to sound arrogant, but they didn’t get very close to us, they were just second in line. And it’s good for us because our team’s advantage is increasing with every race.
Q: With every win, the prospect of Red Bull Racing winning every race this season becomes more real…
Helmut Marko: Is this possible. If Max has technical problems or has an accident, Sergio Perez can win if he is in good shape.
Let’s start by winning our 100th race in history at the next round in Montreal so we can get to the home round in Spielberg with a result like that.
