Red Bull focuses on experience
If in the past the Red Bull he raised drivers and brought them to his reference team, as happened in the days of Toro Rosso with Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Daniil Kvyat, Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon, in recent years he preferred to rely on the experience of Sergio Perez .
The Mexican, despite not having achieved exciting results, has managed to support Verstappen in the last four seasons and will do so for at least another year, given that he has secured a further 1+1 contract renewal with the world champion team.
Marko and the admiration for Norris and Piastri
The Red Bull consultant, Helmut Markohowever, has never hidden his esteem for the two McLaren drivers, as recently reiterated at Montreal Journal: “For me Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are the best driver duo in the paddock, they are young and they are hungry. They then get along well with each other and work well together“. But it is increasingly clear that Christian Horner is the one who decides within the team and therefore the Englishman has opted for the renewal of Perez.
Marko also dedicated a thought to Daniel Ricciardo: “I didn’t hear Villeneuve’s comments about him, but Daniel was supposed to beat Yuki in Racing Bulls and this year that wasn’t the case. In fact, it’s the opposite. Tsunoda has changed a lot since he arrived in F1, has improved during its development. We are talking about an emotional driver who is managing to limit his mistakes. Other teams wanted itbut he is young and fits our model, that’s why we extended his contract by a year.”
