Broadcasters: Marko sees Ferrari advantage

In an interview given on the Austrian channel Servus TV, the head of the sector Red Bull estimated that the Team Ferrari will be less penalized than other teams by the restrictions imposed by the FIA ​​concerning blown diffusers: “We hope that (this measure) does not penalize us more than Renault, Mercedes et McLaren, while Ferrari should undoubtedly benefit from it. »

Helmut Marko suggests that the Scuderia pressured the FIA ​​to ban blown diffusers: “If they can’t copy our system, then they might as well work on banning us from it. »
The Austrian was also surprised once again that the Federation's decision comes in the middle of the championship: “Innovations such as the dual diffuser and F-Ducts were both banned at the end of the season. Now we see a ban during the championship. It’s rather strange…”

With its advanced exhaust concept, Helmut Marko believes that Lotus-Renault GP will suffer more than the competition from this ban.
