Marko hopes for right prognosis: "Then we can get a one-two here"

The big debate leading up to the Mexico Grand Prix is whether Red Bull Racing are the favourites or not. Dr Helmut Marko can point to a major plus point with the Red Bull and therefore does not rule out a double podium.

Red Bull haven't managed a double podium since 2016. Marko sees no immediate reason why they shouldn't do so this weekend - five years on. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are ready, but so is the car.

RTL News quotes the Austrian: "We hope that our forecasts and expectations are correct - we expect to have an advantage with our bigger turbo from the Honda engine - and we take a one-two victory to extend our lead."

Marko further explains the advantage succinctly: "It's because we have that bigger turbocharger compared to Mercedes, Renault and Ferrari. When the air is 'thinner', the efficiency is better."
