Helmut Marko is unstoppable as the Red Bull Racing team advisor seems to not mince his words after the Italian Grand Prix. With his latest comments, the Austrian taunts at compatriot Toto Wolff's statements about Max Verstappen's performance.

'Can someone please explain that to Wolff'

Marko was outspoken to ServusTV about Sergio Perez's future at the team and mentioned Liam Lawson as a serious candidate for AlphaTauri in 2024. On the statements of Wolff, the team boss of rival team Mercedes, Marko also had a witty response. Namely, Wolff said that Verstappen's 10 wins in a row did not amount to much and were mainly fun for the statistics on Wikipedia. At that, Wolff said no one will read them on that website.

Marko's response was, "Wikipedia is one of the most widely read platforms, maybe someone can tell Wolff that. It is not negligible. We are at and delighted to achieve these records. The difference between us and Mercedes is that we look to our own team to deliver the best performance. We just do our job without making up those stories like they do." Marko adds: "We are not worried about Mercedes as long as they are not serious rivals of ours."
