In Helmut Marko's opinion, Red Bull Racing can go even faster in qualifying for the Styrian Grand Prix than they did in the first two free practice sessions today.
Red Bull can still be faster
The Red Bull advisor was asked what Red Bull would do if Mercedes turned their engine all the way up, and he responded: "We haven't turned it up yet either," in conversation with Motorsport-Magazin.com. The Austrian is brimming with confidence when it comes to the Honda engine at the back of the RB16B.
The Honda engine features a powerful turbocharger and this will give Red Bull additional advantages according to Marko. Especially on the short and high-altitude home circuit.
Strong long runs
"The long runs also looked good," Marko concludes. Sergio Perez agreed with him, despite finishing a lowly ninth in the second free practice session. Max Verstappen was the fastest driver in FP2.
