Helmut Marko has admitted he's told drivers at Red Bull "it's just not possible" to beat Max Verstappen with the Dutchman currently the leading light in F1.
After his controversial title win in 2021, Verstappen has been simply dominant this year, r acking up a record breaking 14 Grand Prix wins. Teammate Sergio Perez sits second in the standings, albeit with a gap of 136 points. The Mexican represents the world champion's fourth partner at Red Bull, following Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly, and Alex Albon.
Like the previous three, Perez has been forced to play second fiddle to the 25-year-old prodigy. And Marko, who oversees the team's driver development programme, hasn't been afraid to let the quartet know who is No 1.
