Perez Addresses “Extreme” Criticism From Aston Martin
Current Red Bull driver Sergio Perez was in the center of one of the most surprising developments in the driver market last year. Despite having a contract with Racing Point (now Aston Martin), he was dropped in favor of Sebastian Vettel. Recently, his former team’s technical director Andy Green characterized Perez’s driving style as extreme that did not work on every circuit on the calendar. Perez has now responded to this criticism. Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyXkD4uXCKu5fBM4s54AaABCQ 0:00 - Sergio Perez Hits Back At Former Team’s “Extreme” Criticism 1:25 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Sergio Perez Hits Back At Former Team’s “Extreme” Criticism Perez began by explaining how each car is different while analyzing his current Red Bull car “They’re obviously very different in many aspects – the way you drive each of the cars is very different. So, you have to adapt to a different car, to a different style. But … this car has potential in it. And once I get on top of the car, we should be looking good” He then pointed out how his “extreme” driving helped his former team “Well, I think thanks to that ‘extreme driving’, we managed to get a lot of points! In a way, I think it helped us a lot in the past. And I just have to keep improving every year, try to make it more complete” He signed off by reiterating that he has no idea what Green meant by calling his driving style extreme “With every car, you’re going to be adapting yourself. So, it has to be very specific on which aspect, where you pick it up. With ‘extreme’ comes in a lot of things. Who knows?” Fast Feed Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has pointed out that Sergio Perez’s 2020 “season just got stronger and stronger” “The absolutely crucial moment for him was winning that race from the back of the grid in Bahrain and after that performance you couldn't ignore what he had managed to achieve” added Horner He also revealed that “everyone in the team wanted” 2020 driver “Alex [Albon] to keep that seat, but you just couldn't ignore a talented driver with Sergio's experience” “So, in the end it was a relatively easy decision, but” they “were just lucky to have time on” their “side” Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel has stated that “driving this car feels different” He further explained that “every F1 car has power steering, but every power steering is tuned slightly differently and that immediately gives you a completely different impression” He added that “the car has a completely different philosophy. It's a different team and a different car, so it drives very differently as well” Masashi Yamamoto, Honda's managing director feels that “this season will be successful if” Honda-backed AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda “can score points” “If he has the chance”, Yamamoto wants “him to aim for the podium. He's still a rookie this year, but he's going to be a good match for [Pierre] Gasly” He also confirmed that if they “have a good driver”, they “will talk to Red Bull and” they “will continue to do so. That cooperation will stay” as he wants “kids to be able to keep dreaming” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has divulged that they “have ordered all the technical requirements. In twelve months, everything should be ready” “Then” they can then do all the engine “work” themselves “from 2023” He also added that “there are not many people on the market for” filling up positions in their engine department “but there will definitely be people from other companies joining” them F1’s managing director Ross Brawn feels that conducting races in circuits like Imola, Portimao, and Mugello last year “was a bit of a lesson for” them They’re now “thinking about how” they “can build in this factor of the new and unknown in the future” Will Albon ever race in F1 again?
Could Mercedes Poach Verstappen From Red Bull?
Max Verstappen has had a long association with Red Bull that is set to continue into this season as well. However, his contract includes clauses that allow him to leave Red Bull if they are not able to provide him with a good enough car. With Mercedes renewing Lewis Hamilton’s contract for just a year, they will have a very attractive option open for Verstappen for 2022 if they cannot renew Hamilton’s contract again. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has now spoken about this Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugx_U4os975BTQSnTId4AaABCQ 0:00 - Are Red Bull Afraid Of Losing Max Verstappen To Mercedes 1:40 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Are Red Bull Afraid Of Losing Max Verstappen To Mercedes Horner began by pointing out Red Bull’s progress by the end of last season “We demonstrated at Abu Dhabi that Mercedes are beatable at a track they have been unbeaten at for the past six or seven years” He emphasized the need for sustained performance “We just need to be able to do that across the season. We are gathering momentum. Nobody has a crystal ball so we just need to do the best job we can” He then accepted that Mercedes would be interested in Verstappen if Hamilton were to hang up his racing boots “I am sure that should Lewis decide to stop then Max will naturally be the driver at the top of Mercedes’ list. They also have George Russell and other drivers available to them” He then addressed the performance-related clauses in Max’s contract “The reality is, that yes of course - as there has always been - an element of performance-related clauses to Max’s contract. But as with all these things, it is not about forcing a driver that doesn’t want to be there” He signed off by being confident that Max is appreciative of Red Bull’s efforts “It is more about relationships than contracts, and you only pull a contract out of the drawer when you have got a problem in my experience. The relationship with Max is very strong, he believes in the project, in what we are doing, and he sees the investment that Red Bull is making” Fast Feed Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has stated that “it is a one-off investment in the building and the test benches. The costs afterwards will not be higher than buying another engine. It costs more than what” they “do now, but not significantly” Alpine have released a statement confirming that “Alonso has remained in hospital in Switzerland for observation. There the doctors found a fracture in his upper jaw and operated successfully. The team at the hospital is very pleased with his progress” “Fernando will remain in hospital for the next 48 hours for observation. Looking ahead, after a few days of rest he will be able to resume training and” they “expect him to be fully fit for the preparation of the season” Alonso, meanwhile, has stated that he is “ok and looking forward to getting 2021 underway” Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi has pointed out that “there is the unknown power unit” and they “hope that it will be better and allow” them “to have more fun” He added that his “dream is to take Alfa Romeo to the podium and” he hopes “to do that. To achieve this”, he needs “a competitive car, luck and work” He added that “there have been a lot of changes in the line-up and it will be a different World Championship because of that. All strong drivers and there will be an increasingly close fight” Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has revealed that they “are bracing” themselves “for a tough year” He added that they “need to be realistic and not dream that all of a sudden everything will be good” He further pointed out that they “took such a big step backwards last year”, they “have to make two forwards and that’s what” they’re doing His driver Mick Schumacher feels that Steiner “is very direct. That is something that is positive” as “the direct way is always the easiest” as they can all be “on the same page and up to date” Former F1 driver Robert Doornbos has suggested that “Mercedes of course started developing the car for this year quite early, but Red Bull could also start on time this time, as they finished second among the constructors quite easily” He, therefore, doesn’t “expect Mercedes to go into the year very relaxed. But of course, they remain favorites” Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton has stated that “one thing is for sure”, that he’ll be racing his “heart out for” the fans “this year!” Former F1 driver Pedro de la Rosa feels that Fernando Alonso “could win another world title, and there is a lot of enthusiasm for that” Alpine director Laurent Rossi has stated that “Fernando [Alonso] has almost 20 years of experience in Formula 1 and his experience is invaluable for young drivers” If Mercedes offered Verstappen a contract to replace an outgoing Hamilton, would he take it?
Marko's Problem With Hamilton in F1
Formula 1 recently voted in favor of the engine freeze that Red Bull have been requesting for some time now. This led to confirmation that Red Bull and Honda have come to an official agreement that would enable Red Bull to take over Honda’s F1 program at the end of the 2021 season. This along with the budget cap have been two of the few significant changes many F1 teams have been wanting. That leaves a cap on driver salary pending and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has now given his opinion Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzGbq5AbWDxHPJ81MJ4AaABCQ 0:00 - Hamilton Too Expensive For F1 1:30 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Hamilton Too Expensive For F1 Marko began by addressing the deal with Honda “We have been discussing this topic with Honda for some time and following the FIA’s decision to freeze power unit development from 2022, we could at last reach an agreement regarding the continued use of Honda’s hybrid power units” He then thanked Honda “We are grateful for Honda’s collaboration in this regard and for helping to ensure that both Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri continue to have competitive power units” He further explained the need for such a bold move “The establishment of Red Bull Powertrains Limited is a bold move by Red Bull but it is one we have made after careful and detailed consideration. We are aware of the huge commitment required but we believe the creation of this new company is the most competitive option for both teams” He then addressed Lewis Hamilton’s purported salary after his contract renewal with Mercedes while speaking to RTL “Hamilton is simply too expensive for Formula 1. That's why the driver's salaries should also be included in the "cost cap"” Fast Feed Formula 2 driver Christian Lundgaard feels that “this is going to be a crucial season for” him as “it will be” his “second year in Formula 2 and for a third chance you need a rich father” Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has confirmed that they “have issues with Ferrari employees coming to Banbury to start up the engines because they would need to quarantine” This is because they “cannot afford that timewise, so” they “decided to do the fire up in Bahrain” He also added that they “want to attack and finish in the top five of the constructors' championship. That is why” they “are already concentrating on next year's car in the wind tunnel” McLaren CEO Zak Brown has wondered if the future of F1 engines is “electric? Is it some form of hybrid? Is it even hydrogen?” What he is “comfortable in is that F1 will continue to develop in whichever way the world goes” He is also “not worried about whether F1 will be out of date in ten years. F1 always moves with the times” 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg feels that Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel “needed a change, because he was in a negative spiral at Ferrari and that was not a nice experience at the end” Rosberg is also happy for Vettel as he feels that “he will again be the hero who is celebrated. With success he can just be the same again. He is still one of the best” The Portuguese GP has been officially confirmed for the 2021 season The FIA has released a statement confirming that “a high-level working group has been established including current and potential Power Unit manufacturers and fuel suppliers” They also stated that “all teams recognized the major importance of engaging fans in new and innovative ways to ensure an even more exciting weekend format” “There was, therefore, broad support from all parties for a new qualifying format at some races, and a working group has been tasked with creating a complete plan with the aim to reach a final decision before the start for the 2021 Championship” F2 driver Guanyu Zhou has explained how “in the past, drivers who finish in the top three in Formula 2 move on to Formula 1 the following year” He further thinks that if he “can do that”, he has a “good chance of moving up to Formula 1” Former F1 driver Pastor Maldonado has revealed that joining Lotus in 2014 “was a very logical choice. They had big names as sponsors, as well as brands with an interest in” his country However, later it became “a very different team. Eric Boullier had left the team, everyone was gone. There was a lot of stress and” they “didn't know what to do” “The simulator was stopped because there was no money to reactivate it. And in the simulator, there were only two or three circuits uploaded, because each circuit cost 20,000 euros” Should driver salaries be included in the F1 cost cap?
The Criticism That Bothers Charles Leclerc The Most
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will be entering his fourth year in Formula 1 and his third as a Ferrari driver. He has had an eventful career so far which has also had its fair share of criticisms. Leclerc has now spoken to Sky Italia and pointed out the criticism that affects him the most Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugz72yFSV1qpRbnVp8N4AaABCQ 0:00 - The Criticism That Bothers Charles Leclerc The Most 1:25 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: The Criticism That Bothers Charles Leclerc The Most Leclerc began by thanking his team “A huge thanks to all of my team that have been working day and night to improve the car and find the tinniest gains. I can see we are heading the right way, it’s a long way but we’ll get there. Thank you for your dedication and passion” He then spoke about the criticism that is the hardest for him to accept “One [piece of criticism] that touches me more than others is arrogance, because I know very well that I haven’t changed” He then revealed how being a Ferrari driver has affected him “The further I go in my career, the more I see that people want to be my friend, certainly not because they like me as a person but because I am a Ferrari driver” Leclerc then revealed the change this has caused while reiterating the advice he got from his late father and late godfather Jules Bianchi “So, I close myself a little, but that’s not arrogance, I haven’t changed from that point of view. Both my father and Jules [Bianchi] always told me to keep my feet on the ground” He signed off by explaining why he isn’t arrogant “Everything in my career has gone pretty fast and in the right direction, but I’ve always kept that advice in mind. That’s why the word [arrogance] bothers me more than the others” Fast Feed F1 race steward Garry Connelly has revealed that Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton “was very polite and just asked, 'Guys, can you tell me why I'm being penalised?” at the Italian GP last year He added that the stewards’ reply was “'yes, of course. You went into the pit lane when it was already closed'” They then “showed him the video footage from his on-board camera” and “the warning light on the first screen and then the second screen and then he said, 'OK, I accept that'” Former F1 driver turned commentator Martin Brundle is of the opinion that Hamilton “is 36 years old, but with the freshness of someone ten years younger” He also feels that F1 “will see him on the track for the next three years, but” Brundle “can also imagine” Hamilton “stopping when he sees that his performance is declining” Former F1 driver Robert Doornbos has pointed out that when William’s George Russell stood in for Hamilton at Mercedes “the car was not optimal for his taller body” As such, he feels that Mercedes re-signing Hamilton was never in doubt “because Mercedes was obviously already well on its way to building this year's car” He also suggested that Red Bull’s Max Verstappen “will not go to Ferrari, but Mercedes would of course be an attractive option” for 2022 9-time world champion and MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi likes “Ferrari and” “Charles Leclerc very much” who he thinks “is one of the strongest drivers on the grid” He also feels that “Ferrari need people who want to win races and in Maranello, they need to build a good car. Like Red Bull Racing, Ferrari needs to make things difficult for Mercedes in 2021” F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has stated that their “WeRaceAsOne platform was very effective at raising the awareness of socially important issues” He added that while their “commitment through words to tackling issues like sustainability and diversity in” F1 “is important, it is” their “actions that” they “will be judged on” He further feels that they “have already made good progress on” their “sustainability plans and” F1 “will see strong actions being executed this year” McLaren CEO Zak Brown would “like to get to a place where” they “are rotating some races” as “the more countries” they “race in, the better” He further explained that in an “ideal world, you would do 20 Grands Prix per year. Maybe there are 25 markets, and maybe 15 of those are fixed events because there is a commercial reality of this sport” The “10 other races - five of them are one year, and then five the next year” and this way they “might create more sustainable venues” Does Charles Leclerc come across as arrogant?
Ricciardo’s Warning Message To Everyone Watching
McLaren’s new duo of Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris are often seen as two of the most easy-going and fun-loving drivers on the current grid and as teammates, there are expectations from fans that these two will form some sort of a comedic pairing. Daniel Ricciardo feels otherwise and he has now explained why to Sky Sports Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyhSAavorwqEZZDEhF4AaABCQ 0:00 - Ricciardo Warns Against Fan Expectations 1:26 - Fast Feed Ricciardo started off reminiscing about the podiums he scored with his former team Renault “I mean, generally, I am happy, I really am. I feel like there was certainly a lot of pressure externally and even internally to get the podium and we managed to do it twice” He then emphasised the importance of those podiums “I can honestly leave here feeling fulfilled. I think importantly for myself feeling like I contributed something back to this team. Really it was the podiums, and just to see the joy not only on my face but also on the team’s face. It had been so long” He then addressed the expectations fans have for his upcoming stint with McLaren alongside Lando Norris “It's something I want to reiterate to everyone watching, and every fan of McLaren in particular” “It's not going to be a comedy show. I'm going there for business, I'm going there to improve the car” He signed off by reemphasizing his point of view "My personality won't change so I think I do enjoy doing what I do... but I'm certainly not going there to be this meme power couple or whatever it's described as these days!” Fast Feed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz has joked that his career isn’t following a trajectory similar to that of Alpine’s Fernando Alonso as he has “already driven at Renault, but” he “didn't get the two world championships” He added that Alonso “has been an extremely strong driver, and there will never be another Fernando Alonso” He also explained that Alonso “was the first, a pioneer in many ways, and” that he is “just trying to make” his “own career” He further stated that he has his “own way of doing things, of seeing things, of driving and” he “will see where that takes” him 2009 world champion Jenson Button has suggested that “there are so many positives to” the Extreme E championship and he’s “really excited about it” He confirmed that he is “looking forward to racing against the best in the world, in places that most people have never been” to Former F1 driver Jos Verstappen thinks that they “were fighting more with the car” during their time “because they weren't as balanced” He, however, accepts that “the G-forces experienced with modern Formula One cars are much higher” He further feels that “if you are good, you can adapt to any car. Whether it's a Formula One or a GT, you just have to adapt to the situation” Fernando Alonso “had other things on” his “mind, and” his “head was busy with IndyCar and the 'Triple Crown' goal” when he previously decided to step away from F1 He added that he “had too many things in” his “head that were not F1 related. F1 was not attractive to” him “at that time, it didn't offer what other series offered” He further “thought this was the right time to come back, even with the new regulations in 2022” “after completing some of those challenges” he had set for himself “missing only the Indy500” Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto has confirmed that “Maya Weug will compete in a Formula 4 championship, which is considered the first step in single-seaters on the road to Formula 1” He added that “this is a key moment in the history of Scuderia Ferrari and its Academy” “Thanks to the collaboration with the FIA in the Girls on Track: Rising Stars program, for the first time a female driver will join the Ferrari Driver Academy” McLaren’s Technical Director James Key has divulged that the character trait that he finds most impressive in Daniel Ricciardo is the “massive amount of determination he has” He further pointed out that this is “particularly when he’s driving; you can really feel and see that. He’s a very different character to when he’s out of the car and relaxed” Are you expecting Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris to become an F1 “meme power-couple”?
Wolff Explains Reason Behind Hamilton Contract Delays
With the new season of Formula 1 less than two months away, many expected Mercedes and 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton to have finalized a new deal by now. However, nothing has been announced yet and there have even been suggestions that Mercedes may not want to meet Hamilton’s new demands. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff who also happens to partly own the team has now revealed the latest developments in this regard Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugyvy214LAD8NbYoSAd4AaABCQ 0:00 - Wolff Explains Legal Curveballs behind Hamilton’s Contract Delay 1:42 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Wolff Explains Legal Curveballs behind Hamilton’s Contract Delay Wolff started off by reiterating that they will finalize the new deal “At some point we will finalize it. It's how it is with negotiations. You always come from different corners, but that's quite normal” He then explained why it is taking so much time “We have a really solid basis in our relationship. We have celebrated great successes together and want to continue doing so in the future. But sometimes you have to talk things out in detail, and that took, or still takes us some time” Wolff then explained how the lawyers are having a difficult time with the negotiations taking place over Zoom “The lawyers are working hard. We don't make life easy for them, of course, when we both argue over Zoom and keep sending curveballs to the lawyers. [Hamilton is] in America now and I'm here [in Austria]” Wolff then confirmed a timeline by which the new deal will be signed “[It should be sorted] before Bahrain at the latest – you have to sign something at some point!” He summed up his words by elaborating on why they don’t need any threatening gestures “We never played the George Russell card. He did incredibly well and will one day be in a top car, but our longstanding partnership is not at all about making any threatening gestures. We know we want to race together. And now we have to negotiate the contract” Fast Feed Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan thinks that Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll “has the speed to be a world champion, he really, really does” Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer, meanwhile, added that their other driver Sebastian Vettel “will bring out the best in Lance, with Lance pushing Sebastian hard in return” He further feels that “it’s the ideal blend of experience, race-winning knowhow, and raw talent” McLaren's production director, Piers Thynne feels that their “switch to the Mercedes power unit” has “driven a huge amount of change and, essentially”, they’ve “been building a new car” He further revealed that “the number of new parts on the” 2021 “MCL35M is about the same as when” they “built the” 2020 MCL35 He also confirmed that “there are some challenges in certain areas at the moment – but that’s F1. If you’re not encountering any problems, then you’re probably not being aggressive enough” Toto Wolff definitely thinks that “Red Bull, with [Sergio] Perez, will be a much stronger opponent in terms of the constructors' championship” He also expects “Sergio to be very strong. It will also be interesting how he faces Verstappen. It's a new opponent” He further thinks that “Honda will really step on the gas to compete for the championship in their last year as a manufacturer. That's why it will be quite interesting” Head of engineering at AlphaTauri Jody Egginton, feels that they “should have been sixth in the championship” as “the car was good enough for it” He also accepts that they “didn't live up to it. There are many things” they “improved with, but unfortunately” they “didn't deliver the performance” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks that the “Hydrogen Class at Le Mans offers an exciting glimpse into the future of sustainable motorsport” This is because it “promises both to advance the use of hydrogen in transportation, and also deliver exciting racing” McLaren’s technical director James Key thinks that their “strengths have been typically the high-speed corners” and “in terms of weaknesses”, they “still need to improve” “a bit in low speed” FIA president Jean Todt confirmed that they “are facing a difficult start to the season, because it is a difficult time for the whole planet” He added that “creativity is the key word when organizing major sporting events at this time”. They “need to have a different vision, and above all solidarity” Were Alpha Tauri good enough to have finished P6 in the constructors championship last year?
Wolff Hits Back at "Insulting" Suggestions from Horner and Binotto
Mercedes has held an undisputed performance advantage ever since the hybrid era began apart from a brief challenge from Ferrari during certain parts of a couple of seasons. This has led to what many have characterized as uninteresting racing due to Mercedes’ supremacy since 2014. Red Bull and Ferrari team principals, Christian Horner and Mattia Binotto respectively have now offered their suggestions to solve this problem and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has responded Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzQSTnIODD67peopeB4AaABCQ 0:00 - Wolff Finds Horner’s And Binotto’s Suggestions An ‘Insult’ 2:31 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Wolff Finds Horner’s And Binotto’s Suggestions An ‘Insult’ Horner began by offering his suggestion “There should be a mechanism so that you are not pushed into a corner where you have to drag around a performance deficit for three years” “Maybe there should still be a mechanism between the seasons. The easiest way would be to adjust the fuel flow. They have all the information and can measure the performance output of the engines” Binotto added to that “The goal is not to equalize all manufacturers in their performance. That's why I would call it engine alignment, because it's the only way to help a manufacturer if he does have significantly less performance” Wolff in response began by pointing out how there was a token system in the past aimed at achieving something similar and how it was discontinued “If you remember. We once had a token system when the regulations came out. And because some of our colleagues wanted the tokens to be removed again so that they could catch up, we agreed to discontinue the tokens” He then explained why balancing performance is like an insult “And now some of our colleagues are coming around the corner with a convergence system, which, to be honest, is a small insult. Ferrari had the best engine in 2018, and by far the best in 2019. We developed our engine and went over the limit to bring something in 2020 that we wanted to catch up with” He further pointed out the humiliation in another engine-manufacturer asking for equalizing engine performance “And that's why I can't understand why a manufacturer who believes in their ability to develop power units and chassis would want such a mechanism that balances the power units. I don't think anyone would accept such humiliation in public” Wolff also explained how creating a level field this way would be very difficult “I've said it before. For me this would be the beginning of the end. It doesn't fit with Formula 1's DNA and because engines can be judged not only by power (but also weight, cooling and drivability). A simple formula that works for everyone is not possible” Horner summed up his response to Wolff’s reluctance “Why should Toto with the best engine in Formula 1 want to give everyone else the opportunity to catch up with them? A freeze is great from his point of view, especially without alignment” Fast Feed Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has suggested that former F1 driver Romain Grosjean “was for sure very fast. On a good day, Romain was one of the best ones out there” However, “he sometimes pushed and tried too hard. Then you see those errors. He just went over the limit and then the errors come” McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo pointed out that “this year”, they “have the Mercedes engine to get used to” and he is “getting settled into a new team with hardly any testing” As such, they “weren't going to be anywhere near” their “best in Melbourne if it was in March, so personally” he’s “more confident” they’ll “be stronger in November” Sergio Sette Camara, reserve driver for Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri in 2020 has revealed that Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko “is different, his driver academy is the best and you see the results” He added that “the bottom line is that Red Bull is investing in the programme, and Marko is doing a great job” He also suggested that maybe Marko “could be a bit less hard on the drivers, but he has a different method” and “it works” Marko, meanwhile has pointed out that they “have a cost limit” and they “are also talking about reducing the drivers' salaries. To invest even more in the engines now makes no sense” He reiterated that if the engine freeze did not come into effect, it “would mean that Red Bull would have to drastically reconsider its place in Formula 1” Marko also confirmed that “everything is settled between” Red Bull and Honda to carry forward Honda’s F1 engine program after 2021 Red Bull’s Sergio Perez “was aware of the campaign by Mexican fans to keep” him “in Formula 1 and that was very special” Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali feels that “Formula 1 needs a competitive Ferrari, but” he’s “convinced they can step up again in 2021” Will Red Bull challenge for the title this year?
Why Marko Asked Vettel To Wait Before Signing 2021 Contract
After Sebastian Vettel was shown the door by Ferrari, many felt that his career in F1 had come to an end. However, he would eventually sign with the rebranded Aston Martin team. At one point prior to that, it was suggested that he could return to Red Bull. This idea was shot down by the Red Bull brass at the time but team advisor Helmut Marko has now spoken to F1-Insider and explained why Vettel should have waited Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgznlfjffgMoA56sVZd4AaABCQ 0:00 - Why Marko Asked Vettel To Wait Longer Before Signing 2021 Contract 1:52 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Why Marko Asked Vettel To Wait Longer Before Signing 2021 Contract Marko got straight to the point “I didn’t want him to act rashly, but to wait because it was clear to me that things would change in the driver market for 2022. For example, I was sure that there would be a vacancy at Mercedes then. But not only there” He then confirmed that Red Bull could also have been an option “That also included Red Bull. I just wanted him to still be on the market at the right time so he could take the best possible offer. Above all, I didn’t want a four-time World Champion to say goodbye to Formula One like that. Not as a friend, and not as a Red Bull man” He then explained how the timing wasn’t right initially “When Ferrari gave him notice, we had no place left for 2021. At the time, we firmly assumed that Alexander Albon would develop positively, so that he would also be able to drive alongside Max Verstappen in 2021. That’s what I told Sebastian. Unfortunately, we were wrong” He then pointed out why they had to go with Sergio Perez “When we had to act, Sebastian was no longer on the list because he had made a long-term commitment to Aston Martin. Therefore, Sergio Perez was the logical decision for us” He signed off by looking at it from Vettel’s point of view “Aston Martin was very tempting. The name is cult, the close cooperation with Mercedes promised a competitive package. I can understand him, even if I personally would have waited” Fast Feed Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan likes “Vettel very much, but” he thinks that “Aston Martin made a mistake in giving him a contract” He further elaborated that “the last two years against Charles Leclerc at Ferrari were miserable” and that “he's past his prime” Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz has revealed that his “relationship with” former team “McLaren has always been very open and relaxed.
