Although we acknowledge that the tests went excellently, it remains that Mercedes is still the team to beat.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab It was clearly the best tests since the creation of Red Bull Racing,&#8221; Helmut Marko said to RTL. \u00ab Everything worked from the beginning. But we know that Mercedes remains the favorite, and I assume they drove with a lot more fuel than us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the competition director at Mercedes has drawn up a much more alarmist assessment than the one put forward by Red Bull.<\/p>\n<h2>Mercedes as favorite, Red Bull as challenger, McLaren as the third force for the Austrian.<\/h2>\n<p>The brand&#8217;s special advisor advances the argument of fuel to support his statements. According to him, the fact that Mercedes did not load the same amount of gasoline proves a high level of confidence in the German team.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab The fact that they did not really align with the others in terms of fuel load already shows that they must have a lot of confidence. So we assume that they still have a lot in reserve,&#8221; he continues.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his opinion on the hierarchy among constructors, Marko was quite talkative, unlike the majority of other leaders at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes is the favorite and we are the top challenger. That&#8217;s how I see the situation. Behind, it&#8217;s going to be a battle. I think McLaren will stand out a bit, but not at the level of Mercedes and us. The midfield is certainly tighter, concludes the Austrian.<\/p>\n<p>See you on March 28th in Bahrain, the first Grand Prix of the season, to get a more precise idea of the teams involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite their excellent pre-season tests, Helmut Marko believes that Mercedes is still the number 1 favourite, in contrast to their main rival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":35460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[324,961,1334],"class_list":["post-8811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-essais-hivernaux","tag-mercedes","tag-red-bull"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
