A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
It seems to be becoming a habit: Red Bull is dissatisfied after the first day of a race weekend. This was the case again at the Bahrain International Circuit this weekend.
Marko on Norris's and Verstappen's statements about the McLaren car
Recently, Norris has indicated that he found his car difficult to drive and that it was not really tailored to him. Marko was asked about these statements, as McLaren seems to be consistently the fastest. "Every fast car is difficult to drive," responded the Austrian to Norris's remark.
After his victory in Japan, Verstappen said that he would disappear on the horizon if he drove a McLaren. Norris called that statement nonsense and invited Verstappen on Thursday in Bahrain to get into the McLaren himself and test it. Marko was also asked about these statements of Verstappen and replied: "That's Max's opinion - and he probably knows."

The only Red Bull driver who participated in both free practice sessions in Bahrain on Friday was Tsunoda. He didn't make a big impression, but Marko had an explanation: "Yuki tried something different, so his time is not representative. He will definitely be faster tomorrow."
There were also some brake problems at Red Bull, but according to Marko, there is nothing to worry about. "That also affects Max more, but I think we can solve that."
