The Red Bull Racing director encouraged his team to prepare for the challenges ahead, especially from McLaren, which represents the biggest threat. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix saw McLaren’s victory, establishing them as the most promising team during the weekend.
Red Bull had a slow start in Imola, struggling to keep up with Ferrari and McLaren. However, in qualifying, Red Bull surpassed the two rival teams and secured pole position thanks to the exceptional skills of their three-time world champion, Max Verstappen.
The McLaren team, based in Woking, proved to be a formidable competitor for Red Bull, with their drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri delivering impressive performances this season. Norris also achieved his first career victory at the Miami Grand Prix, leaving Max Verstappen almost eight seconds behind.
Helmut Marko has high expectations for Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who aims to secure his first victory in his home race, the Monaco GP. Leclerc has achieved four podiums this season but has not yet won a Grand Prix.
The Monaco Grand Prix is known to be one of the most demanding tracks on the Formula 1 calendar. Its narrow streets and challenging curbs push the drivers to the limit.
This week’s race in Monaco promises intense competition, especially during qualifying, as the circuit provides an advantage to the driver who secures the highest grid position. Red Bull will strive to maintain their exceptional performance but will face strong competition from Leclerc and Norris, who have also shown good performance this season.
