Marko is confident of victory: "Car is clearly tuned for the race"

Mercedes have once again provided a front-row lockout, but Helmut Marko doesn't see his team without a chance for victory as a result. Moreover, according to Red Bull Racing's advisor, the car is tuned for tomorrow's race.
Although Mercedes is starting at the front again, the team in Belgium is not as dominant as they had hoped. Max Verstappen was only a fraction away from the second starting position. Helmut Marko, therefore, has a positive feeling about tomorrow's race.
"We have clearly prepared the car for the race and we didn't come here to finish third. We are here for the win," the top man of Red Bull Racing explained to Motorsport Magazin. "There is a positive feeling in the team."
Keep an eye on the weather forecast
The Austrian also takes a look at the weather forecast. "According to the forecasts, it may rain occasionally during the race. Lewis Hamilton is, of course, able to deal with that, but Max Verstappen is also tremendously good at switching quickly in situations like that", says Marko. A prediction of rain in Formula 1 alone certainly isn't a guarantee for a rain race, so we'll have to wait and see if it really gets wet.
