Marko tough on Ferrari and Mercedes: 'Problems not under control' – GPblog

The Formula 1 season has been one of controversy, with the dominant performances of Ferrari and Mercedes causing consternation among both drivers and fans alike. However, Red Bull’s team principal, Marko, has been critical of the two powerhouses, claiming that their ‘problems are not under control’.

Speaking to GPblog, Marko stated that although Ferrari and Mercedes’ form has been impressive, their ‘technical superiority’ was causing difficulties for the rest of the field. He suggested that their ‘unprecedented success’ had led to them becoming complacent, leaving the other teams struggling to keep up.

Marko continued by claiming that the FIA had not done enough to address the issue, saying that their ‘lack of action’ was allowing Ferrari and Mercedes to remain in control of the championship. He argued that the governing body needed to take a firmer stance against the two teams, and introduce measures which would ensure that the competition could be kept ‘fair and balanced’.

In conclusion, it appears that Marko is not convinced that Ferrari and Mercedes’ current level of success can be sustained. He believes that unless the FIA takes action to prevent the two teams from becoming too dominant, then the competition will suffer. In the meantime, the rest of the teams will be hoping that Marko’s words will be heeded, and that they will be able to challenge the two powerhouses in the near future.
