'That’s over. But in reality, Max never saw Perez as a serious threat.' F1 RedBull Verstappen Perez
Helmut Marko delivers damning verdict on both Sergio Perez and Mercedes’ chancesSergio Perez’s chances of winning this year’s World title are “over” with Helmut Marko declaring Max Verstappen “never” saw his team-mate as a genuine threat.
However, with the Mexican driver again getting it wrong in a Q1 session, this time in Monaco, Verstappen has surged 39 points clear of his team-mate and Marko has declared the title race done and dusted.PlanetF1.com recommendsIn sharp contrast the 80-year-old is full of praise for his double World Champion Verstappen and his Ayrton Senna-esque abilities.
But while Marko reckons P1 is in the bag for Verstappen, P2 in the standings could yet change – not because Aston Martin may attack Red Bull but because Mercedes are coming for the Silverstone team. That’s not something he thinks any team can do with the Austrian confident of a seventh win in seven races in Barcelona.
