Marko reveals:
Even his own engineer bet against Verstappen
From 17th place to victory - Max Verstappen's impressive race to catch up on Sunday in Brazil also caused amazement in the Red Bull garage. His own race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase had bet against the Dutchman before the race.
"I had bet with Max's race engineer (editor's note: Gianpiero Lambiase) before the race that Max would finish on the podium. Lambiase didn't believe it. We bet 100 dollars, but I only bet on the podium, not on victory," Helmut Marko revealed to the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf".
In the end, Verstappen sensationally flew to victory. "Max just wants to do better again," says Marko.
Tip against Norris
The Dutchman "flew", enthused the Red Bull Motorsport boss. "He was flawless, we couldn't say that about Lando Norris," said the 81-year-old Austrian, unable to resist a little side-swipe in the direction of the McLaren driver.
"That's the title"
Three races and one sprint before the end of the season, Verstappen now leads Norris by a comfortable 62 points.
"Is that a huge step towards the title? No, I think that's the title," says Marko.
