Red Bull He is the great dominator of this Formula 1 world championship. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez They have accumulated the five victories that have been shared to date (three for the Dutchman, two for the Mexican). And it seems difficult that any team can challenge them for the 2023 championship.
But this weekend the competition comes to Monaco, where anything can happen. Red Bull does not see favorites and believes that the first race could go without a victory for them. so you think Marko Helmutadvisor to the energy drink team.
Speaking to ‘RacingNews365’, the Austrian details how they will lose their strengths: “We can’t use one of our race strengths in Monaco, since the one driving in front sets the pace, the degradation is not decisive, there are no straight lines where our advantage could be key…”.
Points towards the possibilities they might have Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz with the Ferrari: “What we have seen so far is that Ferrari is sometimes faster than us in the slow corners. The big advantage is the fast tire warm-up.”
Finally, point to Fernando Alonso. Aston Martin has pointed out Monaco as the stage where the long-awaited victory number 33 can come: “Alonso is always good. His lack of top speed will not be a problem in Monte Carlo and if they have a good weekend they will be up in the standings He’s a candidate.”
This Friday the first free practice starts in Monaco. And the rain could play a part. Especially on Saturday with the classification. Marko has already said it: whoever goes first in the first lap will be the one who will set the pace for the entire race.
