Red Bull Racing’s motorsport advisor, Helmut Marko, has raised eyebrows with his latest remarks, hinting that Mercedes’ upcoming W15 challenger could pose a significant threat to Max Verstappen’s dominance in Formula 1. Marko reportedly stated that Verstappen might have “no chance at all” against the new Mercedes if their development meets expectations.
The W15, set to debut in the 2024 season, has already sparked discussions among F1 insiders for its potential to restore Mercedes to championship-winning form. After a challenging period post-2021, the team has been focused on developing a car capable of rivaling Red Bull’s RB19 and RB20 dominance.
While Verstappen has been nearly untouchable in recent seasons, winning three consecutive drivers’ championships, Marko’s comments suggest that Red Bull isn’t underestimating their rivals. With Lewis Hamilton and George Russell likely to spearhead Mercedes’ charge, the competition could be fiercer than ever.
The statement from Marko has added intrigue to the upcoming season, raising questions about whether Red Bull’s era of dominance could face serious resistance from a revitalized Mercedes. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as pre-season testing approaches.
