"Four-way fight" for the title
Not Red Bull! Marko names his World Championship favorite
The Formula 1 test drives in Bahrain did not go quite as planned from Red Bull's point of view. "The current favorite is clearly McLaren," says Red Bull Head of Motorsport Helmut Marko.
"In my opinion, it will be a three-way or four-way battle between McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and us," said Marko in the RTL interview. "Although, if you look at the test results, McLaren already has a lead. That was the case in both the short and long runs."
However, there is no sense of alarm at Red Bull. "We have made progress, but the current favorite is clearly McLaren," emphasizes Marko. Red Bull is currently "two tenths to three tenths" behind them in the long run.
Not disappointed, but ...
The Austrian is "not disappointed" with the new RB21. "But it would have been nice if our adaptations and innovations had worked straight away," said Marko. The season starts on March 16th with the Australian GP and runs for a total of 24 Grands Prix.
