Red Bull chief Helmut Marko revealed his team are still wary of Mercedes and their ‘dangerous potential’ despite their early struggles in 2022.
Following the Monaco Grand Prix, Red Bull find themselves 101 points ahead of octuple world champions Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship, with Ferrari as their closest rivals. This is seen in the Drivers’ Championship too, where reigning champion Max Verstappen is 41 points clear of George Russell and 75 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
The Silver Arrows have won the title each year since 2014, winning plenty of races along the way - but they are certainly struggling to adapt to the new era of regulations. Porpoising, which sees cars bouncing uncontrollably, has derailed Mercedes’ season and any progress to combat the issue was undone in Monte-Carlo, where the problem appeared worse than ever to the dismay of their drivers.
