One of the best known advisers of Red Bull,Marko Helmutacknowledged in a statement to ‘Servus TV’ that Ferrari could have taken victory away from them in Canada. As it sounds, Marko realized the good pace that the Italian team could have in the race and that’s how it was, both Carlos Sainz as charles leclerc They proved to be fast on Sunday but their backward starting positions prevented them from being on the podium.
The Austrian ex-driver assumed the problems that Red Bull had and the good pace that Ferrari had: “It has not been easy, we have had problems with hard tires to warm them up. The race was tougher than we thought… thank God Ferrari started behind; the two cars (Leclerc’s and Sainz’s) were, with both types of compound, the fastest.”
Marko also analyzed the race of Sergio Perez. The Mexican signed his third consecutive grand prix away from the top positions and finished sixth, thirty seconds behind Carlos Sainz, who was fifth: “He started off hard and that strategy didn’t work because The tires did not warm up. It was thought (to start with hard ones) so that at first he could advance and then with the yellow ones (medium rubber) he could attack.”
For the first time all season, Red Bull showed weaknesses, especially when it comes to warming up your tires. This fact generates a small glimmer of hope inFernando Alonso and Aston Martinwhich should be more attentive next time to take advantage of these errors and try to achieve the ’33’.
