“We will have Ricciardo in the car for three days after Silverstone at the tyre test, and then we can evaluate where Ricciardo really stands,” Marko stated in an interview with Austrian broadcaster ORF.
While discussing Sergio Perez, who is currently in his third season as a Red Bull driver, Marko emphasized that the team recognizes the unique talent of Max Verstappen.
“We have only one Max [Verstappen],” Marko stated, referring to Perez’s performance in recent qualifying sessions. Perez has failed to advance beyond Q2 in the last three races, and he has fallen behind Verstappen in the Drivers’ standings, with Verstappen now holding a commanding 69-point lead.
