The Red Bull advisor commented that the team’s employees are disappointed because their bonus corresponds to the position of constructors
LAS VEGAS.- The special advisor of Red Bull, Helmut Marko was overflowing with joy for the four-time championship Max Verstappen in the F1but with everything and this he did not stop reproaching Sergio Perez due to the difference in points he had with respect to the Dutchman and that, according to him, because of this they will not obtain the Constructors’ Championship
When questioned about the future of the team, once Verstappen was crowned, Marko included Czech Perez in the comment.
“We have to have two drivers who are at the point where they compare. I think Max is more than 200 points ahead of Sergio, but the main thing now was to win the championship for Max.
With a bit of sarcasm, the Austrian said that the direct consequence of not winning the Constructors’ Championship, which he had blamed on Pérez, would be that the team’s employees Grid Bull would see their annual bonus reduced.
“But for our employees it is a disappointment because their bonus is always based on our position in the constructors’ championship and, realistically, there is no chance we can win it.”
Max won with his head
Regarding the Drivers’ Championship title, Marko praised the way Verstappen drove in vegasbut also how he managed to fight with an inferior car for most of the season.
“Max is using his head if necessary, he is incredibly good with the tires,” he described.
Asked to compare the 2024 title with that of 2021, Marko pointed out that they are different, but highlighted the merits of the present triumph.
“This, I would say, is different from 2021, but it shows that as a team we are still one of the best and when it is necessary to work together, that makes a difference.
“I think that Brazil “He showed who is the master of this game, but there were races where the car was not competitive and he still got more out of it than was possible and there were four victories that were only his merit,” he added.
Marko said that Verstappen will continue in the competition and in the F1 as long as you enjoy it.
“I’ve known him since he was 14 years old. I told my boss when we hired him, we put him in a car for 15 years. Formula 1who is an exceptional talent and we took some risks, yes, but I knew it would be fast, but what he delivered is incredible.
“I mean, he is already 27 years old, but he is one of the greatest, it is difficult to compare, but he is one of the greatest drivers. This year has been an incredible journey for Max Verstappen”.
I want to know your opinion on how much is talent and how much is brains. Now brains and talent combine. At first it was speed and today he showed that if necessary he uses his brain and is also a master at reading tires. He is a perfect driver. In terms of construction, this year’s championship is getting very difficult.
