Ferrari arguably had the fastest car in Montreal when it came to race day. Had it not been for the qualifying blunders, the Ferraris would’ve had a shot at a podium or even a win. Helmut Marko emphasized how Ferrari had a great race pace in Canada and that the Red Bull Ring suits the Ferrari. If the Scuderia has a smooth weekend and qualifies well, Max Verstappen’s race win might be in danger.
As per OE24, Helmut Marko warned Max Verstappen of Ferrari’s pace at the Austrian GP and said, “Let’s see. What went down a bit in Montreal: Ferrari had the fastest car. The Red Bull Ring suits them. If [Charles] Leclerc starts from row 1 or 2, it won’t be easy for Max [Verstappen].” [Translated via Google]
