Red Bull has been the constructors’ world champion and also the pilots’ with max verstappen. Many say that the Dutchman will have no rival in the coming years of Formula 1. Marko Helmut goes further and blames even Charles Leclerc.
In statements collected by ‘Sport Bild’, he says that the rival will be Mercedes: “Ferrari is strong, but Mercedes will be stronger in general, especially with a driver like lewis hamilton. He’s still a top-level driver.”
“We had an exceptional season, but not everything was perfect. We still need a perfect day to beat Mercedes and Ferrari. We have room for improvement in terms of reliability,” explained the Austrian.
About Leclerc he says that “he still makes mistakes” and for this reason he rules out the Maranello team: “Ferrari also has a very good driver in Leclerc, but He still makes mistakes.”
On Sergio PerezVerstappen’s teammate says he could have the option of winning “two or three races”: “But I don’t see him being able to challenge Max for a whole season. In general, I don’t see anyone being able to do that at the moment.”
Marko does not trust Leclerc as a possible world champion and Verstappen’s rival in the World Cup. This 2022 seemed the only one that could stand up to him, but in the middle of the season everything deflated.
