Ferrari on pole according to the Austrian
Helmut Marko he will not be present in Canada for the free practice sessions in Montreal, but no alarmism. The Austrian manager will not be able to go overseas immediately because he will be awarded the Grand Cross of Honor in gold by the Province of Styria for his services to the Austrian region.
Red Bull has started very well in 2024, but their opponents have now reached the RB20 in terms of performance: “We lost the dominance of the first three races, the competition has caught up in the third year of regulatory stability, he copied and even improved some things – the words of Marko reached by the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung – it is simply a logical evolution of the situation, nothing to be ashamed of”. In relation to what the competition may have even improved compared to Red Bull, it is worth highlighting the quality of Ferrari’s rear suspension which also gave great benefits to Haas.
Marko had already said after Monaco that Red Bull is destined to suffer in Canada too, but the weather which predicts rain could mix things up: “We are not going to Montreal as favourites, Ferrari is also better on the flying lap, but if it rains then the Verstappen factor will come back into play. Even if we are not superior we want to win, get the best and defend the title of world champions.” Red Bull has formalized the two-year renewal of Sergio Perez, a ‘victory’ for Christian Horner. Marko stated that regarding the tension with the team principal “we have reached a truce“.
