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.

Volandri’s words
Filippo Volandri è returned to talk about Jannik Sinner in Gazzetta dello Sport: “È the dowry of great champions, “trivializing” victory as if opponents did not exist. He had a fantastic season, yet we must assume that Jannik still has room for improvement”.
“He è perfectly focused on what he needs to grow further. On serving, for example, è he has improved so much in the last two years, but he can è make it even more solid and continuous. However, I would like to emphasize how Jannik has placed himself in the wake of the Nadals and Federers, who have shown how one can become a better player even after reaching No. 1. Sinner è and should be an example to all young people who think they have arrived after a couple of good wins».
Berrettini chapter: “Moreù than recovered, è a player who finally è trained himself and thus is returning to the levels that compete with his talent: è he was No. 6 in the world, better not forget that. He has worked a lot on himself in the last year and has come back to believe in his qualities. And when he is well, his serve becomes devastating again. But the match with Rune è complicated, two years ago the Dane was on the level of Sinner and Alcaraz and his potential is that, if he regains mental serenity. And then he responds better than Norrie and so Matteo will have to play more exchanges. A probing test, however it goes I am convinced that 2025 will give Berrettini» great satisfaction.
Closing remark on Davis Cup: “Jannik beats Djokovic in 2023 and definitely realizes his value, Berrettini is reborn with the three September victories in Bologna. Davis è a source of pride, but the secret è very simple: when they come to the national team, the Azzurri train with each other at a very high level and together they raise their respective qualities “.
