Red Bull’s dominance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which it easily won to secure its second one-two of the season, Helmut Marko said was “not nice” for the fans.
While Leclerc did manage the fastest lap, Max Verstappen easily won his second race of the season in Jeddah thanks to Sergio Perez’s pass of Charles Leclerc.
Red Bull has won 23 of the 24 races since the year 2023 began, with Marko feeling sorry for the supporters since Ferrari, Mercedes, and McLaren were unable to compete with the Milton Keynes-based team.
“The car was good on every level, the tyre wear was ok, although it wasn’t very nice for the spectators, but we dominated,” Marko told Sky Sports Germany.
“Perez had a strong race; he passed Leclerc really quickly and opened up a five-second lead.
“After that, he actually drove the same lap times as Max, so we are very satisfied.”
In addition, Marko disclosed a last-minute worry that Perez would not finish on the podium due to a Daniel Ricciardo spin that might have resulted in a Safety Car.
Perez held onto another podium finish, but it was not to be.
We were still terrified of the Safety Car at the end of the race, since Ricciardo had threatened to do it for us. Thank God it wasn’t there.
