Red Bull, Helmut Marko don’t put Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel on the same level

Helmut Marko doesn’t put Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel on the same level
During an interview given to the microphones of “Autosprint”, Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko, among other topics discussed, è returned to the decision to bet on a very young Max Verstappen after Sebastian Vettel’s farewell in 2014. In addition, the Graz native wanted to compare the achievements of the Dutchman and the German, who have been among the Austrian team's most successful drivers.
“When Vettel left us at the end of 2014, we had to look for a young talent possibly as interesting in perspective and the choice è fell on Verstappen. Frankly, I think that compared to the current competition and Seb himself, Max can be considered someone who plays a different league. He is part of another level even compared to Sebastian” began the Red Bull adviser.
“When I decided to bet on Verstappen, things immediately went a certain way with the win on the debut, in the 2016 Spanish GP. Let's say, if I had still bet on Ricciardo, delaying Max’s arrival in Red Bull, maybe Daniel would have won a world championship” added the Graz native.
“Seeing how things turned out, overall, I can say that I do not regret my decision. I am glad that I lost the Ricciardo bet and won the one with Verstappen” concluded Helmut Marko.

Marc Marquez no longer wants to make mistakes and heralds change
Marc Marquez knows he is dominating this year but he has also made several heavy mistakes: “They are my weakness, I will try to handle everything differently, but I made them all on Sunday and I have to avoid them if I want to fight for the championship. I will have to think about the races where I didn”t score points.
In Aragon he will be the favorite: “Dominating here like last year will be difficult since it was raining, it will be a faster weekend, with a more rubberized track and therefore more difficult. In Silverstone I wanted to defend the points lead, here I will try to fight for the victory. My feelings compared to last Gp are better”.
In the press conference Marco Bezzecchi, winner at Silverstone, also spoke: “It was great, I missed the podium. The bike gives very good sensations, I can’t wait to start again here and try to be competitive. We made a lot of steps forward, because we were also in Jerez and Le Mans but I made some mistakes. It might be difficult to repeat, but we want to be continuous”.
