The Red Bull Racing team started the 2024 season with a double victory in Bahrain and Max Verstappen’s lead over teammate Sergio Perez at the finish was more than twenty seconds. After the race, Helmut Marko said that even for the team such an advantage over its rivals was unexpected.
Helmut Marko: “We didn’t expect such a stunning result, but everything just worked. Max won the start and then simply disappeared from the front. There are simply no other words to describe his achievements. His best lap was two seconds faster than the best lap of any other driver.
Max drove the entire race on an empty track, so he did not suffer from the car overheating.
Sergio controlled Carlos Sainz’s gap and had no reason to attack. In any case, the result was astonishing. The strategy, the pit stops, everything was great.”
