Helmut Marko pictured on August 31, 2024
Red Bull regains form in Montreal, says Marko
Jun.14 (GMM)  Red Bull may be set for a much stronger Canadian Grand Prix than initially expected, with Helmut Marko declaring the team is back "in the game". Just days ago, the 82-year-old team advisor had downplayed the team's chances in Montreal, suggesting Max Verstappen would struggle to challenge the McLarens on a circuit that doesn’t suit the Red Bull. But Friday's track action painted a more hopeful picture. Despite McLaren bringing several upgrades to Canada, both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri struggled to make an impression in the early sessions. Meanwhile, Mercedes showed signs of a potential breakthrough. Some believe McLaren's dominant 2025 car may be hampered at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve by its higher drag setup, which is usually balanced by efficient cooling elsewhere. Verstappen, meanwhile, set the fastest time in the opening practice session before falling down the order in FP2. Even so, Marko was upbeat. "If the car is as good as it was at the beginning, we'll be in the game," he said. "Strangely, the changes we made didn't have as much of an impact in the long run as they did on one lap. In that respect, we're on a par with Piastri." Speaking separately, Marko added: "We were about as fast as Piastri, and the tyre wear was also limited. So we are looking forward to the rest of the weekend with optimism. "I think we really are among the fastest."]]>

Coronel says Verstappen staying at Red Bull in 2026
Jun.14 (GMM)  Max Verstappen is not leaving Red Bull, according to a Dutch racing expert who knows the world champion personally. After the recent Spanish Grand Prix, where Verstappen was penalised for an incident with George Russell and admitted his 2025 title hopes were slim, speculation grew that he may be trying to activate a contract exit clause and move to Mercedes or Aston Martin for 2026. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko rejected those claims. “For one thing, he could do it much more discreetly than that,” he told Kleine Zeitung. In Canada, Verstappen seems in much better spirits. During a media session, he defended a team member after being blamed publicly by Sky reporter Ted Kravitz for a strategy error in Barcelona. “Since Jonathan Wheatley went, obviously you have Stephen Knowles who is doing it now,” Kravitz said. Verstappen responded: “I think it's not really nice to try and single out a person, because that's never the case. I think we just look at it as a team, what we always can do better, and that's also how we look at it in Barcelona. It's not fair to now single out one single person.” Dutch racing driver and media pundit Tom Coronel believes that Verstappen’s strong defence of his team is all the proof needed that he’s staying put. “I see that Max has made his choice, and that is why he is standing up for Red Bull,” Coronel told Viaplay. “He is not looking for another team. You can clearly see that he is staying with Red Bull.” Not everyone agrees. Mathias Lauda, son of F1 legend Niki Lauda, believes Verstappen’s next move is still uncertain. When asked what car Verstappen will drive in 2026, he told Osterreich: “Wow, that's difficult. I don't think even Max knows yet. I can even imagine him saying 'I'm taking a year off - I want to enjoy my new baby and spend more time at home'.” Lauda added: “During this time, he can take a look at who has the best package under the new regulations and choose a cockpit that will put him in contention for the title again. A year off would certainly do him good.”]]>

Another F1 steward suspended over media comments
Jun.14 (GMM)  A second former Formula 1 driver has landed in hot water with the FIA over public remarks deemed inappropriate for a race steward. Derek Warwick, a veteran of the sport and long-serving steward, has been stood down from his duties at the Canadian Grand Prix after making blunt comments about current drivers in an interview with a gambling outlet. The incident mirrors the earlier case of Johnny Herbert, who was also sidelined by the governing body just ahead of the 2025 season opener in Melbourne. Herbert had raised eyebrows for labelling Max Verstappen as having a “horrible mindset” in separate media interviews with gambling websites. The FIA deemed his dual role in media and officiating as incompatible. Now it’s Warwick’s turn in the spotlight. Speaking last week, the 70-year-old described Yuki Tsunoda as a “disaster” for Red Bull and compared Lance Stroll unfavourably with drivers like Liam Lawson. The FIA was quick to respond. “Following recent unauthorised media comments, the FIA has taken the decision to suspend Derek Warwick from his duties as driver steward,” read the official statement. Warwick has since accepted fault and offered an apology, the FIA added. The FIA confirmed he will return to officiating duties at the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix, with Enrique Bernoldi stepping in for Canada.]]>

Red Bull rookie Hadjar ‘ready for faster car’ - boss
Jun.14 (GMM)  Isack Hadjar is capable of stepping up to Red Bull Racing if called upon. That’s the view of Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies, even after the 20-year-old rookie admitted in Montreal that he’s “not ready” to be Max Verstappen’s teammate. Hadjar has been one of the standout performers of the 2025 rookie class, prompting speculation that Red Bull may consider replacing Yuki Tsunoda sooner rather than later. “He’s having an extraordinary season,” Mekies told Sky Italia in Canada. “Maybe only Helmut Marko expected all of this.” Still, Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer joked earlier this week that he would need “handcuffs” to keep Hadjar at the junior team for now, suggesting the French-Algerian driver needs more time before being exposed to the pressure of racing alongside Verstappen. “He’s in a very important growth phase now,” Mekies acknowledged. “But a driver is always ready to get into a faster car.” Should Hadjar get an early promotion to the senior Red Bull team, the next in line to fill his seat appears to be Arvid Lindblad. The FIA has now approved Red Bull’s application for an early super license for the 17-year-old British-Swedish driver, despite his age. “Arvid is gaining experience in Formula 2,” Mekies said. “But he still needs to develop. When the opportunity arises, we’ll evaluate it.”]]>

Horner denies interest in Alpine or team equity deal
Jun.14 (GMM)  Christian Horner has dismissed fresh speculation about his future in Formula 1, including reports linking him to Alpine and rumours of team ownership ambitions. In Barcelona two weeks ago, the long-serving Red Bull team boss laughed off suggestions that Ferrari had approached him to replace Frederic Vasseur. "My Italian is worse than Flavio's English, so how on earth would that work?" he joked. But former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher later floated the idea that a move to Alpine might be more realistic, given that Flavio Briatore is searching for a new team principal and that Renault could be open to offering Horner a share in the team. "That's what he has always wanted," Schumacher said. Speaking in Montreal, however, Horner firmly denied the renewed speculation. "You know what Formula 1 is like," he said. "There are always a lot of rumours in the paddock. "I'm not going anywhere – I'm fully committed to Red Bull. We're working on a lot of interesting technical solutions and we'll soon be introducing our own engine for 2026 – that's a very big and ambitious project." He acknowledged that Ferrari has made inquiries in the past, but reiterated his loyalty to Red Bull. "It's always flattering to be associated with other teams, and Ferrari has indeed knocked on my door in the past," Horner told De Telegraaf. "But my heart is with Red Bull. I'm not going anywhere, not even to Alpine, because there's talk about that too. "Rumours spread very quickly in the paddock, but I've been working in Formula 1 for 21 years and I have no intention of changing anything."]]>
