In a shocking revelation, the Austrian consultant of Red Bull has unleashed a scathing attack on Ferrari, implicating the Italian team in foul play during the 2019 season. The infamous “Siluro di Marko” has left the racing world in disbelief as Helmut Marko accuses Ferrari of cheating with their 2019 engine, altering the course of Formula 1 history.

During an exclusive interview at the Austrian Grand Prix, Helmut Marko spilled the beans to De Telegraaf, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded between Red Bull and Ferrari. Marko disclosed the meticulous negotiation process with Max Verstappen, highlighting the young driver’s unwavering determination and maturity beyond his years.

But the bombshell came when Marko revisited Max Verstappen’s damning statement towards Ferrari at the end of the 2019 season, insinuating foul play and cheating in the sport. The Dutch prodigy had called out Ferrari, stating, “This is what happens when you stop cheating,” sending shockwaves through the paddock.

Marko didn’t hold back, suggesting that if Ferrari hadn’t tampered with their engine, Verstappen could have clinched the championship a year earlier, in 2020. The Austrian consultant pointed fingers at Ferrari’s power unit, indicating that their actions inadvertently propelled Mercedes to further enhance their engine performance, creating a domino effect in the grid.

The repercussions of Ferrari’s alleged misconduct reverberated throughout the sport, with Marko emphasizing how it spurred Mercedes to push the boundaries of their power unit and triggered Honda to ramp up their investments. The ripple effect was felt in the 2021 season, with Red Bull finally equipped with a competitive engine, courtesy of Honda’s escalated efforts.

As the racing world grapples with the aftermath of the “Siluro di Marko,” questions loom over Ferrari’s integrity and the true impact of their actions on the Formula 1 landscape. The saga serves as a stark reminder of the high-stakes gamesmanship that underpins the pinnacle of motorsport, leaving fans and experts alike clamoring for transparency and fair play in the pursuit of glory on the track.
