Marko: Honda power "in the Mercedes and Ferrari region"

Anybody else getting tired of Red Bull constantly firing shots at Renault? Dr Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s advisor thinks that their new Honda engine is already better than previous supplier Renault’s and is catching the Mercedes and Ferrari power unit.

Red Bull ended their relationship with Renault last summer, when they announced they would be using Honda engines for 2019, after being sufficiently impressed by them with Toro Rosso.

Marko told Motorsport.com: “The figures make us really optimistic, also with regard to the increase in performance,” Marko said.
