F1 – The real gap between Ferrari and Red Bull

Ferrari keep chasing Red Bull. At the same time, a surprising recent interview with the most beautiful Austrian in the world, in which he says that the difference is made by the Dutchman and not by the latest one-man chair. born from the genius of the wonderful Adrian Newey, it can also go between things that leave no trace and are not very important. However it is Sunday, no Big prizewe are a little tired, we are stretching before going for a quick jog along the salt pan Carloforte and everything is gravy.

On the other hand, since we see him hanging inside F1 Historical consultant of the team Milton Keynes has always had the advantage of being equal to itself: 40 grit sandpaper All in all, unmatched quality, stability, in the world of revolving doors. And “good” Helmut he never fails to remind us how painful he is, especially what he is talking about Ferrari: like an angry cat attached to our testicles with razor claws. A scary picture especially for us guys, but I think it’s pretty cool.

However, that does not mean that there is no truth to be found in everything he says. It’s a rare commodity, but maybe you just need to look carefully. Let’s look at his recent interview for example, assuming I haven’t missed another one, because you see ours, for someone who doesn’t talk much, he does a lot. Interviewed by an Austrian newspaper OE24, Mark it analyzes Big prize of Japan and from a certain point of view it provides a surprising statement that we will consider in the next block of articles.

Is Ferrari a little further from Red Bull than we think?

Considerations of Helmut Marko about the world Red Bullwe were saying, the nature of the value of Verstappen in relation to the mechanical car on which, every race Sunday, he rests his buttocks to destroy his competitors. “These have always been my words: we have a great car, but then Max makes the difference again. In Suzuka everything was clear, but Verstappen set this incredible lap on used tyres“. Let’s not focus on the last part of “sborona”; ours clearly states that the intrinsic value of one seat is that indicated by Perez. Still very high, but certainly far from that of Max.

His point is interesting, because he could prove it one chair designed by Cardile & co. (Ferrari SF-24) may be further away, in absolute terms, than you think. And maybe for this reason we can also understand why at home Red Bull they bring a lot of progress. Where is the truth? There RB20 “truly” is that of Max or that of Perez. As with most things, I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The value of race cars blue race maybe it won’t be as strong as you think, but it won’t be Mexican in origin Guadalajaraa good driver but definitely not a champion.

And, on the other hand, to win you need champions, so in the end we are interested in that Max drive one Red Bull and that the combination, at present, is fatal and invincible. If we go back to the last part of the sentence above, it comes sugar Mark to his number one “assistant”, Max Verstappenrelated to the rapid cycle of damage to everyone else. Mark in this matter he adds: “He didn’t do it for fun, but to convey his message: ‘Hello, the rest of you are ready to take second place!“.

Well, here it usually comes back chief a good person whom we “like” a lot. Even so, let’s not give up. All domains expire sooner or later. Father Wakti teaches in this sense. And maybe it can happen that, in this case, they finish earlier than you think at the hands of a historical team Ferrari. Let’s hope. If it happens, I can not wait to see the face of Mark. I am eagerly waiting. At the same time I try to warm up some muscles to make a few kilometers of running not so difficult. Happy Sunday!
