Formula 1 | Marko on the regularity of the SF71H: “We trust the FIA”
“There is something going on for batteries, but the request didn't come from us,” he added
When asked by Sport Bild about the regularity of the SF71H, Helmut Marko did not want to spark any controversy towards Ferrari, underlining how Red Bull blindly trusts the evaluations of the International Federation. The Austrian Scuderia, we remember, asked for an additional investigation into some components of Vettel and Raikkonen's car, including petrol and the regularity of the mirrors.
Charlie Whiting, however, rejected these accusations, underlining how the Scuderia di Maranello car was designed within the technical regulations in force during this season. The Austrian also confirmed that there is an ongoing request for clarification on the batteries, specifying however that this did not originate from the offices of the Milton Keynes team.
Here are the words of Helmut Marko “The FIA looks at all single-seaters very closely. For example, there was a lot of commotion over the petrol issue, but they didn't encounter any problems."
“Today, however, there is an issue relating to batteries, but I would like to underline that the protest did not start from us. For us, Ferrari is legal as we trust the FIA 100%." he concluded.
