F1 | Marko attacks Renault: "Their budget is insufficient to compete with Mercedes and Ferrari"

Helmut Marko's new attack on Renault. In fact, in an interview with Motorsport Magazine, the Austrian criticized the French engineer's future plans, underlining how the budget allocated for the future in the category is not sufficient to counteract the development of Mercedes and Ferrari on the engine front.

Hence the choice to separate and bet on the Honda project, creating an exclusive partnership for the next seasons.

Here are Helmut Marko's assessments: “Renault would not have been able to provide us with a successful engine and this became clear to us at a certain point. On the other hand, they cannot expect to fight with Mercedes and Ferrari with the budget they have allocated for the future. It was clear that we had to change something. Today, for the first time in history, we have an exclusive partner and we can count on development focused on our single-seater. We made this decision and it was a positive change for the entire Red Bull group."
