Marko: "Verstappen is in a similar situation at Red Bull Racing as Vettel"

Max Verstappen has recently indicated that he feels good at Red Bull Racing and Dr Helmut Marko is flattered by the words of the driver. Marko was the first at the time to offer Verstappen a contract in Formula 1 at Toro Rosso. A bond has developed between the Dutchman and Red Bull that only one person had before him. "He feels very comfortable within the team and is in a similar situation as Vettel had when he drove for us. The most important thing is that we get a winning car for him on the track and that we are the main challengers of Mercedes", said Helmut Marko against the Kronen Zeitung. Both Vettel and Verstappen could count on the full support of the team despite their more experienced teammate. It remains to be seen, however, whether Verstappen will leave for Ferrari after winning the world title, based on his own words. Source: GPBlog
