Helmut Marko gave his honest opinion about the ongoing driver situation at Red Bull by stating that there is no one, who could match Max Verstappen’s pace.<\/p>\n
The comments come after speculation whether Sergio Pere is good enough to drive the Milton Keynes’ car.<\/p>\n
Marko replied that there are only 2 other drivers on the grid that could come nearer to Verstappen, but no one could match him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing second behind Max is like a win,\u201d he said. \u201cThere won\u2019t be any other driver who could stay with him on one level. Maybe [Fernando] Alonso and [Lewis] Hamilton would be nearer, but nobody could beat him at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know how good Max is [and] that has to be considered. He\u2019s nursing the tires and he\u2019s still going fast. He can read the race and he\u2019s so far ahead [with] what he\u2019s doing he\u2019s already past. It\u2019s unbelievable capacity in his head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Verstappen is currently on course for 3rd consecutive drivers championship, leading the standings with a mammoth-like 125 point in front of second-placed Perez.<\/p>\n
