Red Bull’s Helmut Marko Dismisses Mercedes as Non-Serious Competitors Amidst Renewed Rivalry

“For Max [Verstappen], this winning streak means a lot. For me personally, getting the 100th win as a team was even more special than this, but it’s fantastic for Max. He was a bit nervous about getting it here as well. I think it was very important for him to break that record, now he’s got it, so I think he’s a bit more relaxed for the next races,” Marko concluded.

As Red Bull closes in on Williams for the position of the fourth most successful team in the history of the sport, with Williams currently at 114 wins and Red Bull at 106, the rivalry between Red Bull and Mercedes is expected to continue throughout the season, potentially leading to further verbal exchanges between the teams.

In terms of historical wins, Mercedes holds the record with 125 wins, but Red Bull’s strong performance could see them challenging Mercedes’ record by the end of 2024.
