“The main thing is you have to finish and avoid those reliability things. We also had a Sprint race, which helped us a lot to get more points. We have an unbelievable run now – normally in the first half of the season we were always catching up and now are dominating. You have to say that if you win seven races out of the first nine, that is domination,” Marko added.

Red Bull’s impressive run this year have come notwithstanding the reality they got through a troublesome beginning to the season because of power issues. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez both retired from the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, Verstappen registered his second DNF at Australian Grand Prix too. Moreover, Perez’s Canadian Grand Prix last end of the week was sliced short because of mechanical disappointment.

Be that as it may, the team have come out on top in each and every race of the time between themselves, with Verstappen crossing the chequered flag in first place on six occasions. Meanwhile, Perez won the Monaco Grand Prix and saw the chequered flag ahead of Verstappen.

Furthermore, Marko accepts his group’s reliability issues have been a difference in their high-performing vehicles. “Reliability is always a concern if you have a car that is so much on the limit.”
“You see that at Ferrari. The only ones who don’t have a technical DNF yet is Mercedes, but they had to lift during some races because of overheating problems,” Marko concluded.
Ferrari have endured their own issues this season, with Charles Leclerc retiring from two races and his colleague Carlos Sainz registering three DNFs. Mercedes pair Hamilton and George Russell, in the meantime, have finished each and every race but have been compelled to fight with extreme porpoising issues.
