Helmut Marko: 'What do they have to say now?'
Reeling off the list of driver options for Red Bull in their Junior Team, Helmut Marko called out critics who felt the talent pool was running dry.Formula 1 teams had clear purposes, one to develop talent, where the likes of Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo started out, and then the main team which drivers strived to ultimately reach.
“A few years ago, they were all saying that our juniors would not perform well enough, but what do they have to say now?” Red Bull driver programme boss Marko toldAs for those closer on the junior ladder to an F1 breakthrough, Marko praised Hadjar, who alongside his F2 duties has made an FP1 appearance for both Red Bull squads.
Then there is Iwasa, who after two Formula 2 campaigns, now sits P3 in the current Super Formula standings. And with Lawson – who impressed during his F1 2023 appearances in the place of the injured Daniel Ricciardo – also pushing for an F1 2025 seat, Marko, with a smile, declared: “It’s a luxury problem!”
